About this Cook
I'm retired and now have time to spend in the kitchen. I have taken several cooking classes that have helped me enormously.
My favorite things to cook
I love Mexican food and can follow directions, so..... I experiment quite a bit. Unfortunately, I'm the only one who like Mexican food (DH only likes Taco Bell)
My favorite family cooking traditions
When my mother was alive, we would make Zagareliai or Krustai (a light, fried pastry covered with powder sugar- a Lithuanian tradition ) for Christmas.
My cooking triumphs
I actually made a Chinese dish that was better than what we had in a restaurant.
My cooking tragedies
I lost the above recipe!

Garlic Cheese Bread
We made this twice now in the past 2 days. The first day I used bolillos- soft rolls. They were very tasty but DH said that he wanted crisper bread. The 2nd time I used a crusty french bread and toasted it. DH said it was perfect (and he's not a real bread fan) I used approximate proportions and it only made enough for half a french loaf. I liked them both ways- very tasty. Thank you!

Flatlander Chili
I made this with one addition- about 2 TBS of chopped pickled jalapeno for added zing. FABULOUS! DH and I loved it. It didn't have the overpowering chili powder taste. Oh, and I thickened it up a bit with some masa flour as was previously suggested. Thanks for our new favorite chili!!!!

Tasty Tuna Burgers
These were so good that DH actually said that I could add this to the rotation! I did make a few adjustments, though. No celery on hand, so I added a dash of celery salt. I used 2 cans of albacore tuna and had to add a little more bread crumbs to the mixture. I didn't have any chili sauce, so I added a dash of cayenne pepper. I accidentally left out the dill, too. Before sauteeing the patties in butter and olive oil, I dipped them in plain bread crumbs that I seasoned with cracked pepper and a dash of cayenne. We ate the patties without the buns and "burger" fixings and I served sauteed zucchini with it. THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL BASIS FOR THIS GREAT RECIPE!! This tuna filling would make wonderful tuna melts, too!!!
