Born in 1971, I'm a husband, and father who does most of the cooking in the house; good thing I enjoy it. My favorite things to cook are the traditional family dishes that are part of my french canadian heritage. Tourtiere, Meatball Ragout, and Pouding Chomeur are the key dishes I strive to keep as part of my repertoire. Perogies though not traditional french canadian fare, are another family favorite I like to cook. Well... see above. Ragout au Boulettes (Meatballs in Gravy - though a special gravy), Tourtiere (Meat Pie), and Pouding Chomeur (a form of bread pudding). Recently made a chili that was absolutely to die for. I used pork cottage roll instead of ground beef, and used quite a lot of vegetables. It was unique and super delicious. Recently made a chili that was absolutely to die for. Sound familiar? Yeah, though I consider that chili a cooking triumph, the pork cottage roll was cooked in the slow cooker with a special originally concocted gravy of it's own a few days before making the chili. I have no idea what ingredients I used to cook the pork cottage roll, and consequently have no ability to truly duplicate the chili. That's the tragic part of it.
