I'm a pastor's wife and mom to four hungry boys. I really like cooking specialty ethnic foods. I love my meals to have a story to tell. We have lived so many places, that it has been fun to learn the signature dishes of places, and cooking them, and talking about them elsewhere! I have begun to teach my 12 year old son how to really cook, not just mac and cheese and ramen (though he does those well too!) I look forward to passing on cooking traditions with my other sons. I made the Soprano's family Cook book Sunday Gravy...and it rocked! I am also a self proclaimed "Soup Nazi". Give me some bones and a few vegetables...I'll turn it into the best pot of soup ever! When we were first married my husband wanted me to make the Bisquick hamburger pie...it ended up tasting like soap...I'm still not sure what happened!
