About this Cook
Technician for the Federal Gov. Parents would not let me a have a chemistry set, but they would let me in the kitchen. Has something to do with likely burning the house down, or something like that. Never have been quite sure.
My favorite things to cook
Everything. Like a great big chemistry set. But you get to eat it.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Pizza. All makings are on the center table. Everyone would get a small pizza pan and build their own. Kids really like it.
My cooking triumphs
More than not.
My cooking tragedies
Many. If you don't make mistakes you're not creating something different.

Seasoned Couscous
Almost what I was looking for. Light flavor. Great with lemon chicken or when you don't have gravy.

Quick and Easy Alfredo Sauce
I just threw away all my other Alfredo Sauce recipes. Doesn't matter if you use whipping cream, half and half, or whole milk. It tastes virtually the same. I've now made it with all three. I did add the 1/2 tsp nutmeg and a little more salt. But it IS the greatest sauce so far. Throw in some dried parsley and away you go. Use the powdered garlic tastes better. Next time I'll try the cream cheese and chives. Absolutely wonderful.

Quick and Easy Chicken
Very good. Use large or medium yellow onion. Definitely double the sauce. Sauce thins out so a thickener might help. Sauce has good flavor. Not too over bearing. Quite tame. Starts out strong then mellows as cooked. Good as is. Bar-B-Que like flavor.
