About this Cook
Not much to tell. I'm a simple person with simple likes/dislikes. I'm a sci-fi nerd, metal head, animal lover, videogame and comicbook addict, and probably the last kind of person that one would think would be on this site. My pet peeve is netspeak. U R should not be used in place of you are or you're. Ever.
My favorite things to cook
I specialize in cheesecakes, cookies and pie. In other words, health food. I classify myself as a baker.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Ironically for a culture that holds fast to traditions (ie: Southern) in general, my family has none.
My cooking triumphs
Anytime my husband's eyes roll into the back of his head from something I've made (in the good way), it's a triumph.
My cooking tragedies
My first bread pudding wasn't anything to write home about.

Mom's Warm Milk
Simple and wonderful. I've been using this recipe for a few years now. Instead of sugar, I usually add honey as I prefer the taste of honey in my milk. I also use skim milk and it doesn't alter the taste at all (at least for me) plus it's a bit healthier than using whole or 2%.

Zippy Summer Shrimp
This was very good. The flavors are balanced and you can even go a little overboard with any of the spices according to taste and not ruin anything. In my case, I added a bit more lemon juice and basil as I like that combination a lot. I made some stir fried veggies on the side and used the same recipe on those meant for the shrimp. Both then went on top of some pasta and it was awesome!

Totally Groovy Chocolate Fondue
I hate leaving low marks for a recipe, but I just couldn't get this one to work right. I suspect the addition of the coffee may be the cuprit since there's water in it. Each time I've tried this recipe, the smooth, glossy chocolate becomes grainy and unusable (for fondu, at least. Thank God for brownies). I'm going to try one last time soon, leaving out the coffee and then maybe I can redo the rating. EDIT: Redoing the rating. This recipe works better with no coffee. It causes the chocolate to seize up. I'm sure the coffee flavor could be had with coffee liquor or extract instead, but don't use the real thing unless you like wasting ingredients.
