I LOVE TO COOK! I love most cuisines and love cooking them. I love organic gardening and cooking what I grow. I am also an avid needle worker.
My favorite things to cook
Spanish, Italian, Mediterranean, Mexican, BBQ, German, Southern, Old Family Recipes, Asian including stir fry, steaming, and making my own Asian inspired appetizers. I enjoy all homemade meals from scratch, Baking, frying, and slow cooking soups and stews, and roasting. Of course, salads in the summer
My favorite family cooking traditions
Old family recipes! From Thanksgiving to New Years is my favorite! This time of year starts in September with the first baking that needs to mellow and age.
My cooking triumphs
Boston Cream Cake. Candies! Orphaned at age 13, my recipes are remembered, and perfected by trial and error over time. The one that took the longest was my Mom's Thanksgiving Stuffing recipe, the absolute greatest and toughest to perfect!
My cooking tragedies
Boston Cream Cake, still tasted great, but FLOPPED royally! The stuffing which took 28 years and at least as many tries to get just right!
