I've always enjoyed cooking, but never had much time; always seemed to just be a rush to put dinner on the table after work. Now that I'm not working for the first time in many, many years, I'm rediscovering my love of cooking. My husband says I need to go back to work before he puts on too much more weight.
My favorite things to cook
Comfort foods. Hearty Italian dishes, flavorful soups, roasts, rotisserie meats and chickens, rubbed with herbs and garlic.
My cooking triumphs
New Years dinner for my terminally ill sister. Did a prime rib, crusted in rock salt and cooked in the rotisserie, served with baked potatoes, aus jus, fresh veggies, salad and fresh fruit and cheese platter. I don't remember what I fixed for dessert, but it was so wonderful to enjoy a meal with all my brothers and their spouses and my sister and her family. It was the last time we were all together, just us.
