I am a 52 yr old grandpa with four grandchildren and a pair of twins on the way. I have always loved to cook. It always impressed my girlfreinds when I was younger. Now my wife says she is blessed to have me take on some of the kitchen duties. My favorite items to cook are varied. I find they become my favorites because they are so good and I don't screw them up. They include Banana Bread, Ribs, some desserts and anything BBQ'd. Our only real tradition is the Xmas family meal. Both the wife and I are busy for a few days prior to Xmas trying to get everything ready, 'cause it don't all fit in the oven at once. The usual stuff, some whipped potatoes, fresh buns, a bird and a ham and a few different vegetables. My triumph is my ribs. They are so easy, yet so tasty. I admit the reciepe is not mine but after so many years, I feel it is. I will post it when I finally have the energy and time. . Just thinking of it makes me cringe. The wife makes a mac 'n cheese dish using real cheese. I've always been a KD guy. So, I thought I'd try it as real cheese has to be more healthy than processed powder, right? Well, lets just say, when I was finished, you could use the mixture to put shingles on your roof. The whole thing had to be thrown out, and no, I have never attempted it again. I'll stick with KD thank you.
