I love to cook for my family and friends of course. I also love needlecrafts, particularly crocheting and knitting. I want to take up weaving again - just cant find the time! My Fiance's favorite - Spaghetti, homemade sauce w/ mushrooms & sausage and garlic bread! and weekend breakfasts :) its experiment time! very Eastern European and Finnish/Scandinavian - anyone for Lefse or Lihapiirakka? :-) Holiday dinners for 30 to 50 regularly (full sit down ones!)and a rave review from everyone! other than burning the bacon? Cant think of a thing! :-) and leaving the gizzards in the turkey and the time the salad dressing exploded and... hmmm well - there are too many to list here. If it could happen it did! Murphy's Law :) I will comment here that sometimes I see reviews on this site that say "Don't ever do this or Don't ever do that" to recipes that use a method different than they do - In my humble opinion, I would say go ahead and try it! Unless its a health/safety issue. Everyone has different tastes. A recipe is a guide, not a law. Some must be followed more exactly than others but in the long run its all about what pleases you and your family/friends tastes - So HAVE FUN COOKING
