Been married for 8 years. Our daughter is 5 years old and my step-son is 20 years old. I'm Portuguese and Chinese. My husband is an excellent cook. We both work for the Postal Service.
My favorite things to cook
I love soups and stews. Anything with gravy is good. Love to eat Italian food so cooking Italian is great!
My favorite family cooking traditions
At Easter & Christmas we always make Portuguese sweetbread (masa). On Thanksgiving and Christmas, we make Portuguese stuffing (shay). Both are family recipes that have been handed down for 4-5 generations. My husband has mastered the stuffing recipe.
My cooking triumphs
The only thing that I've developed on my own is a baked potato salad. My family loves it and it was something that I threw together. I follow a recipe pretty good, though.
My cooking tragedies
Nothing so bad that I'd call it a tragedy.
