Hobbies:
I cook lunch for my office in an electric skillet, microwave oven and toaster oven. They each pay me a little something every month. No one complains. Some can be very picky eaters. No onions for one! No seafood for the other! Another one, I just give up on: No carbs, no fat, no beans, no onions... I just give her scrambled eggs and fake sausages before she goes on her 6 mile lunch run... she'll die before any of us will.
My favorite things to cook
I am a bbq extraordinaire! Indian food is also a specialty. I come from the Pacific Northwest, and seafood, hispanic and pioneer food are my specialties.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Mom's cauliflower salad.
My cooking triumphs
A friend of mine killed a deer and aged it for 14 days. He was a butcher and gave me all the filet mignons (6 of them - SO SMALL!)... I served them to a visitor from Northern Ireland, and he was thrilled! (Note: Warm the dinner plates before serving).
My cooking tragedies
Sweet and sour hotdogs. It made my guest very sick, and no matter how good my subsequent meals were/are, she still talks about it.
