I am a happily married father, guitarist, and amateur cook. I am a big fan of grilling, and, increasingly, healthy cuisine.
My favorite things to cook
Fajitas, chili, burgers, cream of crab soup, tacos, refried beans, Spanish rice, stir fry.
My favorite family cooking traditions
We don't really have any. My father didn't cook, and my mother cooks mostly Southern style, which I am not a huge fan of, due more to health concerns than taste preference.
My cooking triumphs
The cream of crab soup that I made for the first time today. My wife says that it was more delicious than the soup that we have gone out of our way to eat since we were teenagers, so that was a huge compliment.
My cooking tragedies
The first time I made twice-baked potatoes, it was for our first wedding anniversary. After about three hours of hard work, I ended up with bland, mushy potato-like lumps and dirtied about 90% of our small kitchen.
