When I was 24, a friend of mine showed me how to make homemade Shrimp and Scallop Fettuccini in a white wine, parmesan and herb sauce. I fell in love with cooking ever since. He showed me different tips and tricks from how to chop fresh herbs to how to season cookware. He was a good friend and I thank him for starting on my way to falling in love with cooking! Thanks Paul!
My favorite things to cook
Mostly, I like learning different things about preparing food, and using the "same 'ole" ingredients in different ways. I love spending time with my Punkin and watching UFC together!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Doing the exact opposite that my mother would do! Man, she was a bad cook. On the other hand, my Dad made a great Chicken and Dumplings!...I would post it, but it's pretty simple and probably already on here.
My cooking triumphs
I made up a simple blackened sirloin steak to cook on the grill, and I was invited to cook/sell them on the weekends at a yacht club in Beaufort, SC. They were very popular, even Tom Berenger was a fan!
My cooking tragedies
Whenever a steak goes over medium rare!
