About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
Anything for desserts. I can cook on the grill, in the broiler, and stovetop, but still, my favorite thing to make is all desserts.
My cooking triumphs
My father used to brag about a cookie that my Great Grandma used to make. I begged her daughter for the recipe (which was difficult, since grandma measured in handfuls and eyeing), and attempted to make it myself. I thought they were absolutely delicious, but they were an extremely difficult cookie to make without seeing someone make it first.
My cooking tragedies
When I was younger, I could never remember what it meant to cream sugar, so for awhile, I used to melt the butter before I added the sugar, and my mom always wondered why my recipes didn't turn out quite like they were supposed to.

Pork Tenderloin Stew
I did change this up a bit, since I didn't want to measure anything. My only substitutions were that I didn't have celery or mushrooms, I used home-made broth instead of canned, I didn't use tarragon, I added a little bit of salt and pepper, and subbed corn starch for the milk. And good lord, is it amazing!!

Simple White Cake
I overcooked it slightly, but even so it was exceedingly dry.

Soft Sugar Cookies IV
absolutely delicious and decadent. I used 1 Tbs per cookie, then smooshed it onto the pan with the bottom of a glass. I didn't use sugar to coat them because I'm going to put frosting on them, but the cookies themselves are even better then store-bought, something I thought I'd never be able to find in a sugar cookie recipe. Well done!!!
