About this Cook
Married to my high school sweetheart for over 25 years now and going strong with four childeren, two girls 20 and 18 and two boys 13 and 11. My Beautiful wife Jeanne came to me with a full assortment of baking skills her mother and grandmother provided her with. Our first dinners were baked chicken parts, blackend, but not because of spices ;) followed by an extravagent layer cake!
My favorite things to cook
I am a meat and potatoes kinda guy. Roasts, Ribs, Steaks really get me going with all of the starches that make those meals great. I have really increased my successes since getting a digital thermometer. Two recipies we cannot do without came from this site: Greek Style Rib Eyes and Asian Lamb! Wonderful Stuff!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Thanksgiving must have Turnips! St. Patricks Day with Colcannon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colcannon and Fourth of July with Burgers and Foot Longs
My cooking triumphs
Romantic Friday Evening Dinners are always a hit at home. The kids eat their favorites pizza, mac N Cheese, or a tv dinner earlier and then we make a dinner together and crack a bottle of wine, light a couple of candles. Inevitably the kids are coming to see what we made for dessert :)
My cooking tragedies
Too many to list!!!!!!! But we keep getting back on the horse!

Debdoozie's Blue Ribbon Chili
You're not going to believe this, but I made this recipe for a church chili contest and won 1st Place with it the first time I made it. I made very minor modifications, I used one can of Pinto Beans substituting the can of Red Kidney Beans and managed the use of the tomato sauce during the simmering to get the consitency I like. I enjoyed this Great Recipe and so did our church and I have the blue ribbon to prove it!!!!!

Chicken Souvlaki Gyro Style
Fantastic is all I can say. We grilled chicken tenders and then served everything on a platter. I built my Gyro and took a bite and could not believe we replicated one of our favorite dishes! Even the recipe for the Tzatziki sauce was perfect. Thank you, we will make it again!

Marinated Grilled Shrimp
We succesfully executed this recipe! Kids and Adults all loves it. I made two modifications. We used Ketchup and we reduced the pepper to 1/8th of a tsp. Both worked out very well. The pepper was still there and the hint of it was ok with my very sensetive family! Thank you for this great recipe!
