About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
Stuffed baby pumpkins, Phyllo dough wrapped salmon with white wine sauce, chicken fettuchini alfredo, mediteranian pasta salad. Prett ymuch anything that tastes good I suppose.
My cooking triumphs
Being able to make something from what I have on hand without a recipe. I am pretty good at seeing something and thinking about what the probable ingredients are.
My cooking tragedies
I wanted to start baking alot of yeast breads so I bought bulk yeast instead of the pre packaged stuff for cost reasons. When the receipe called for .25 oz of yeast I measured out .25 oz..... by weight. Ooops! I thought it seemed like way too much but I had never really baked bread so I went with it. Well .25 oz came out to be 8 tbs and the recipe called for 2 .25 oz packages so I added 16 tbs of yeast. I should have only added 5 tsp, which is .5 oz by volume. The bread came out looking really great but tasted terrible. After the first bite I knew exactly what I had done wrong lol.

Apple Pie by Grandma Ople
This is the best pie I have ever tasted. Sorry mom!!! It is such an easy recipe. . I replaced an 1/8 cup of the water, with Apple Rum from Baccardi with flavorful results. I reccomend when cutting anything with a round shape ,such as apples, make sure to cut the tops and bottoms off prior to cutting. This is great safety insurance. The Apple wont "roll" on you while cutting it. I give this recipe 10 stars. A deffinate keeper. You rock G'ma Ople!
