Soups. I am very much a soup novice, but love the taste and ease of most soups. Texas chili is my favorite stew-type of meal. I love experimenting. Thanksgiving. It's not just for families, it's also for friends to bring thier best. Definately my simple mistakes with my sweet potatoe pie. Mental note, you really have to be careful where you "cool" your pies. Hot stove tops are not a quality environment.
