Being a wife of a certified chef, in a kitchen I am constantly haunted by these two ghosts: strive for improvement and fear of failure. He is the reason why I want both: to cook more and improve, and at the same time to turn away and never come back to the kitchen :) My mission now is to stay there and improve :) Deserts! But life makes me look for favorites in real food too :) My husband makes the main dish and I take care of the dessert - that's the best tradition for me :) one of the latest - last mom's birthday, where everyone loved both: the roasted chicken I stuffed with duck pate and my honey cake... Aaaah! Loads of them... But you live and learn :) One of the most memorable one: was making a grated potato pie according to grandma's recipe (traditional Lithuanian) and only when it was in the oven for already 1/3 of it's cooking time I remembered I'd forgotten the salt... So I took it out, put it all into a blender (!) , added salt, blended to smooth puree and again into oven. Ended up being better than it sounds, but way worse than I had hoped for :)
