I am a teacher and my students love to hear tales of my cooking disaters. I love to cook in season. In the summer I like very simple, easy to make meals. Just learning how to use a crock pot. Let's not talk about the time I tried to cook seafood chowder with sweetend condensed milk. oooops. My mom's Thanksgiving stuffing. Following a recipe. I haven't learned how to deviate with success yet. I do, however, cook a mean spicy garlic shrimp. I already mentioned the chowda. Then there was "chicken mush soup" and oh yeah, let's not forget "spit out the beans" crock pot baked beans
