Baked goods, enchiladas, black beans.
My cooking triumphs
My daughter's 3rd birthday cake: 12 inch diameter, 3 layers--bottom cheesecake, middle chocolate, top vanilla, with a white chocolate/cream cheese frosting. Crazy good.
My cooking tragedies
See my corn tortilla attempt/review. Not so great.

Sweet and Sour Sauce I
Easy and tasty. Great on Chinese rice, egg rolls, and chicken. I halve the recipe and it makes enough for 4 people [who don't drown their food in sauce]. Also, rice vinegar works if that's all you have on hand. Don't be thrown by the ketchup, you can't really taste it.

Butter Chickpea Curry
Fantastic recipe! I did have to add a little extra cream (about a 1/3 cup) because the tomato puree I used must have been salted (I'm overseas and Campbell's is just not a standard here). Also, I went with all cauliflower because I had a different dish with potatoes in it already.

Heavenly White Cake
I used 1 1/2 c milk and added an egg yolk the third time I made it and it was much less crumbly and easier to frost. I also only used about 3 1/2 tsp baking powder instead of 4 so it wouldn't have that weird baking powder taste.
