I live with my DH Mark. My husband is not too picky and will try some new tastes. And my tastes are very eclectic. I like to try different foods all the time. It is not so much about what is my favorite things to cook as much as its what thing I love to eat. Like Mu Shu Beef, Dim Sum, Italian Wedding Soup, Arancini di Riso, Cumin Sweet Potatoes, & Lemon Meringue Pie. I have two food heritages. One is southern and the other is country german. My favorite southern comfort foods are biscuits & gravy, grits, cornbread and beans, & black eyed peas (which we eat only as treats, lowfat diet). I loved Gma G's Sawmill gravy made with bacon drippins. Gma L cooked country german foods. Her homemade German egg noodles aka spätzle was so good. My favorite german foods are verenika(a favorite), fried potatoes, spoon bread, borscht soup, spätzle, & schnitzel. And it was my greatest cooking achievment when I was able to duplicate a gravy that tasted almost like my grandma's, without having her recipe. Even though it cannot be exactly cause it doesn't have her love.:~)
