My favorite family cooking traditions
I am newly married, and am excited to establish my family's cooking traditions for the future. At the moment, I'm converting to whole grain or low fat meals.
My cooking triumphs
I made the most amazing crab cakes the other day--my first ones ever.
My cooking tragedies
I woke up one morning and decided I wanted homemade chocolate cake for breakfast. I was sleepy while I measured out baking soda into the dry mix, but didn't realize that what I thought was a a measuring teaspoon, was actually a tablespoon...an hour later when I opened the oven to take the cake out, I discovered that half of it had exploded all over the oven. While the chocolate cake still turned out okay, the cleanup later that afternoon was not the best.
