My husband and I are retired and spend a lot of time traveling. We pack spices and cooking gear and stop at local seafood and vegetable markets along our routes. We cook at roadside parks and enjoy really good healthy local food along the way.
My favorite things to cook
Pretty much anything although we don't do a lot of dessert.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Thanksgiving dinner with the family. It is the only family holiday that requires nothing more good food and a family to enjoy it with. My husband and I have been hosting our family Thanksgiving for the last 10 years at our cabin in Grayling. Everyone goes over the river and through the woods for dinner.
My cooking triumphs
A wild game dinner - complete with 3 courses for 30 people. All of the fish, game and even the berries for dessert were caught, processed and prepared by my husband and myself.
My cooking tragedies
My first attempt at cooking fish. I didn't know the difference between pollock and perch and the end result was a disaster.
