I love to cook easy meals that make me look like a gourmet! The ingredients can be hard to find, but if the meal is spectacular I don't care. I enjoy cooking only for others, when alone a bowl of left overs or even cereal will do! ethnic inspired, flavorful meals. No baking for me. My mom's buttery whipped potatoes and "fall off the bone" ribs. I know a good recipe when I see the list of ingredients. I've never really made anything I couldn't save. I'm the one people call for recipe ideas. No, I have not won awards for my cooking, but my friends and family love it and that is fine with me. Once, when I was a teen I offered to help Mom with her buttery whipped potatoes. I insisted that it was fine to boil the potatoes without peeling them first. Being lazy truthfully! Have you ever tried to peel a boiling hot potato fresh from the pot?
