I'm much more involved with cooking lately. I love the cooking shows and cooking/baking sections of magazines. I am always trying to find a way to spice up everyday meals or try something new. Soup, Stews, Casseroles, anything chicken. Meatless dinners with mostly seafood and vegetables for Christmas Eve. Turkey or capon for Thanksgiving. Roast duck or lamb for Christmas. I like the traditional ham off the bone for Easter. I recently tried to duplicate the taste of an imported frozen pasta entree--fettuchini and portobello mushrooms in cream sauce. I played with the sauce and seasonings until it tasted just right. It was delicious. Last Thanksgiving I burned the skin on the turkey so bad that I just carved it all up before the guests arrived. The meat was fine but I felt bad when everyone piled into the kitchen wanting to view the bird!
