About this Cook
My cooking tragedies
The Great Pea Soup Incident of 1998... Being a thrifty Yankee, I decided to use my Easter Ham bone in a batch of pea soup. All was well until I decided to put the pot into the refrigerator to finish cooling and I TRIPPED sloshing thick, hammy, green glops into the refrigerator, under the refrigerator, over the refrigerator and all over the floor. I have not made pea soup since.

Mushroom Lentil Barley Stew
amazingly delicious - even the kids loved it. I subbed 1/2tsp of Bell's stuffing seasoning for the savory, omitted the bay leaves completely, and added only about 6 grinds of my pepper shaker - much less than called for in the recipe. I added about 1 tsp of salt and cooked on high for 4 hours, then left the cover askew for another hour to cook off some of the liquid. (I had only fresh shiitake mushrooms and forgot to reduce the liquid before adding it!) Will definitely make again!

Apple Cake I
I added 1/4 tsp. allspice, reduced the sugar by 1/4 cup, and reduced the oil by 1/4 cup as well. It was thick and chunky, but I didn't add any milk or anything because I trusted that the apples would cook down and make a dense, moist cake. I think you could halve the oil and it would still be awesome. I'll try that next time, because this was delicious - even better the next day! I might add nuts, too, and as someone mentioned, a dusting of powdered sugar would look nice.

Eggless Peanut Butter Cookies
Dense, chewy & delicious! I needed to add a couple extra tablespoons of flour and I used half butter/half vegetable oil in place of the shortening. I also did not have buttermilk so I subbed plain, 2% Greek yogurt. Yum!
