About this Cook
Many varied interests. I took up running in April '06 and have been trying to eat balanced ever since. Cooking has become part of this and quite sucessfully at that. I love being outdoors and have rediscovered fresh, local, produce now that I'm on a "health" kick.
My favorite things to cook
Dishes from scratch: dry beans, slow simmer soups & stews, roasts, etc. I am so sick of convienence - gimme something I can COOK and I don't mean just throwing it in the microwave. I very much enjoy roasting my own coffee beans. You just cannot compare any commercially roasted coffee to home roasted beans.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Scalloped corn, Grandma's "chop suey", mom's chili...
My cooking triumphs
Getting my kids into cooking. Its hard to get to the stove without drawing interest. Therefore, it isn't so much what I've cooked... though I can make a pretty mean sausage gravy!
My cooking tragedies
I don't have anything tragic enough that it pops into mind. My baking is less than great. Give me a dutch oven and a cut of tough beef and I'm at home; you can have the baking beyond that.

Sweet and Sour Sauce II
Excellent like it is or substituting ketchup for the tomato sauce. Another variation split the white distilled vinegar with seasoned rice vinegar and split the water with pineapple juice. Yum!
