About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
Seafood, chicken or beef. Anything with mushrooms, balsamic vinegar, or wine. But if I can make it look pretty and taste good, I'll make it.
My cooking triumphs
I've finally started to get past measuring and timing everything exactly. I can eyeball ingredients and even tweek a recipe to fit my taste or what I have on hand. It's very encouraging.
My cooking tragedies
I was roasting a chicken in a glass baking dish (should've use a metal one) using a recipe that called for some water in the bottom of the dish. I said to add more water if some is cooked away, so I did. As soon as the water hit the dish, it shattered and spilt all over the inside of my oven! Luckily the chicken was on a rack as well, so I just finished cooking it and cleaned up the next day. :)

Iced Pumpkin Cookies
I'm glad I went to buy the ground cloves for this recipe. It gives the cookies and little kick. The icing is great too and looks wonderful.

Toasted Pumpkin Seeds
I love pumpkin seeds and I love worcestershire sauce. I never would've thought to combine them. Excellent!!

Swiss Steak Italian Style
Excellent! I used a whole onion and 1 jar of garden vegetable pasta sauce since I didn't have the green peppers or celery. Also threw in some sherry since I didn't have quite enough red wine. Came out surprisingly tender and tasted delicious!
