I love to cook almost anything. I'm learning to become a better baker. My all-time favorite meal has to be prime rib. MMMMMmmmmm I love it. I learned my favorite Japanese meals, from my Mom. I've passed them on the my kids. We also have the tradition of baking Christmas cookies for weeks before and making a strata for Christmas morning, then the prime rib for Christmas dinner. Teaching my kids how to cook has been a triumph. I want them to be able to care for themselves and not have to settle for fast food or someone elses cooking. They are 13 and 10 and are great cooks. The younger is a girl and by far the better cook. I think because she has more of an interest, although my son's not half bad! I made a pot roast (with chuck) and it came out like beef jerky! Not sure what happened, maybe the piece of meat. It was the same recipe I've used for years, but it didn't work. My other tragedy is creme brulee. I can NEVER seen to get it to set. Maybe I lack patience, but I've tried a few recipes and they never work for me. I'll have to check around here and see what kind of creme brulee recipes are on this site. Maybe they'll work for me!
