About this Cook
I'm a computer technician for Apple Computer, and my wife stays at home with our new daughter and our other two four-legged children (dogs). We both love cooking, but she actually studied it in school.
My favorite things to cook
Anything.
My cooking triumphs
Tons of them, too many to count.
My cooking tragedies
An Apple Cake, where instead of a teaspoon and a half of baking soda, I put in a cup and a half. It was the first time my wife met my family when we were going out. Her Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake was a hit; mine made hers look even better. ;-)

Cinnabun Cookies
This recipe was good, but one change I made needed me to do lots of tweaking, and I'll have to re-do the recipe. I didn't like the thought of using shortening, let alone butter-flavored shortening. So, I used a half cup of applesauce instead. Well, it added too much liquidity, and after leaving the dough in the fridge for an hour, the dough was WAY too doughy. We had to add a lot more flour to it, and as a result, the dough didn't have as much flavor as it could have. So, with some tweaking, this could be a great recipe.

Spinach and Orzo Salad
Turned out great. As per someone else's suggestion, we added marinated artichokes chopped up and chopped olives, and it added to the flavor. It was spectacular. I might add more veggies to it to make it even healthier, but it was a great salad.

Mexican Rice II
would have been even better if I didn't slightly overcook it and burnt the bottom. ;-) Great flavor, easy to make. Will make this again and again.
