I'm a graduate of Oklahoma State Tech, now called OSU-Okmulgee.. I graduated in 1976, in Culinary Arts. However, every job that I've had, I ended up being a Baker.
I "retired" in 2002, and moved to Ardmore, Ok to help my wife care for her parents, in their declining years--Alz. Disease, and COPD.
My favorite things to cook
Are you kidding? I've finally narrowed it down. Things rolled up: pinwheel cookies, rolled up snacks, and cinnamon rolls. I enjoy baked items too. If possible, I like to take the extra step and make it "home-made." Not as many people do that anymore.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Both brothers make excellent barbeque. I've learned to let them make the smoked beef brisket. (The first time I tried, it came out like leather.")
One of my nieces is a 4th generation Chef. Two of the chefs are "certified." I chose not to be certified, because I'm a picky eater, and there are lots of foods that I don't like and don't want to taste.... Liver! Yuck!
