My favorite family cooking traditions
Every New Year's Day (Jan. 1st) my dad throws a party with BBQ, black-eyed peas (for luck/prosperity), cabbage or other greens (for wealth), and lots more. This southern tradition is the best! (I just learned that the pork symbolizes "positive motion".) [More details over on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-eyed_pea#In_the_American_South]
My cooking triumphs
I've been trying many new recipes lately, using new ingredients, etc. This is big for me - really, I'm kinda proud!
My cooking tragedies
Entering the kitchen! ;)
