My cooking triumphs
Breadmaking. (Although I'm still trying for a good Jewish rye!)Coq au Vin, a special stew, slipped custard pie, pie crust(thanks aunt Jean!)meatball stroganoff, salmon loaf with hollandaise sauce......
My cooking tragedies
The loss of my mothers' Blitz kuchen recipe.

Cream Cheese Squares
The filling was great. I will try these one more time, but I will change the amount of butter( I havn't used margarine in years)to about 1/2 and will use unsalted butter. In my opnion, the butter was just too heavy, and I like rich foods. The salt in the cresent dough, and the salt in the butter ganged up, and produced a cloying quality. I like the concept of the cresent dough and the filling, this just needs a little lightening up.

Old Fashioned Beef Stew
I haven't made this, but I had to comment, because it's the first time I've seen the combination of bay and allspice in a stew other than in my own stew! I make a traditional stew with these spices. If you don't like this specific recipe, keep the spices in mind for your favorite version of stew, give them a shot- for thirty years I've gotten rave reviews from fiends and family!
