About this Cook
I'm living the dream here in paradise, in my perfect little apartment with my true love. I love cooking; either cooking for two, or entertaining.
My favorite things to cook
I love making desserts and candies.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Right now we are starting new traditions. We'll see which ones stick.
My cooking triumphs
I am very good with Italian food, like spaghetti and alfredo.
My cooking tragedies
My worst cooking tragedy was when I decided I really needed brownies in the middle of the night, but didn't want to devote an hour to it. I started by making hot chocolate and then added flour, eggs, etc. until it was a batter, and tried to make it like pancakes. It did NOT work. It might work for some really chocolaty crepes though...

Awesome Honey Pecan Pork Chops
These were awesome! This is the easiest thing I've ever made that doesn't have a bunch of processed in it. I used thin-cut pork chops, so I didn't have to pound them. I threw some sweet potato spears in the oven with a little oil and dinner was ready in 20 minutes! 5 stars! This is something we will have regularly from now on!

Honeyed Chicken
Good, but better with skinless chicken. If the sauce is just on the skin it doesn't really flavor the chicken itself. When I have bone-in chicken with skin, I just peel back the skin and flop it over to the side and put the sauce on top of the chicken. That way the fat from the skin melts and keeps the chicken moist, and there is more liquid for basting.

Lamb for Lovers
Very nice. It did take more like 15 minutes to cook the lamb, and it I simmered the demi-glace after adding the jelly for a long time, but it never thickened. After I gave up and decided to use it thin, it thickened as it cooled down a little. I was worried I wouldn't like it because I wasn't really loving the smells as I was cooking it, but by the time it was all done and I tried it, it was delicious. Half a recipe was perfect for two people.
