When I was in the Air Force I was stationed at Misawa AB, Japan. My favorite restaurant was "Companions" just outside the main gate. I used to go there for the Wednesday special; Yakisoba and Cheese Gyoza. I really miss Japanese food, especially the sushi and yakitori. Oh, and the grilled squid sold at festivals mmmmmm.
My favorite things to cook
Cakes ... I'm the designated cake baker for family potlucks. I like to eat chicken. I'll try just about any chicken recipe.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Eva's Seafood Pasta; Margie's Chicken Enchilada Casserole; Sabrina's Baked Beans, JJ's Beef enchiladas/burritos, Terry's Shrimp Coctail; Cecy's Lasagna, Eva's Chicharrones w/Chile; JJ's Semi-homemade Brownies, Sonny's Baked Ham
My cooking triumphs
Yakisoba (japanese noodle dish); Oven-Fried Chicken, Smothered Chicken; Arroz con leche, Homemade Macaroni and Cheese;
My cooking tragedies
I can't fry chicken. It ALWAYS comes out raw, because of this I'm also afraid to fry fish.
