you know how people say they can't taste their own food while they're cooking, or eat their own food after they've cooked it? i don't have that problem. i can do both, actually. same meal and everything.
My favorite things to cook
macaroni and cheese, cheesecake, various treatments of salmon, chicken stir-fry, lamb and apricot pilaf, new things for baby to try
My favorite family cooking traditions
i am making up my own... but my dad's pancakes rock and i still can't replicate them.
My cooking triumphs
my balsamic slow cooker pot roast! i've only made it once, two years ago, but my guests still talk about it... other than that, i'm known for a simple graham-cracker-crust, cream-cheese-filling, fruit-and-whipped cream dessert that has no name...
My cooking tragedies
that time i mixed up the sugar and flour amounts in a cookie recipe?
