About this Cook
Have stove, will cook.
My favorite things to cook
Food. Any food. I love making smoked anything.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Meat Extravaganza weekends with my extended family. Last time was beef jerky (three kinds), the Bacon Explosion, braised beef shanks with winter squash puree, Swiss chard, potato and mushroom gratin, home made sourdough whole wheat bread, and poached pears. And then a pork shoulder just for the heck of it.
My cooking triumphs
Tres Leches Cake. Red Velvet cupcakes. Nearly everything ever made for a meat weekend.
My cooking tragedies
I cooked the Christmas goose far past dead two years in a row. I blame equipment however.

Boston Baked Beans
It is fantastic to have a recipe that consists entirely of things I already have in my kitchen. I dislike canned foods generally, and buying canned baked beans and adding things to them is hardly cooking in my mind. The two places I deviated were to use half a leftover ham bone in place of bacon, and I baked them for 6 hours instead of 4. After 4 hours, the beans weren't quite to the texture I wanted. After 6...awesome.

World's Best Lasagna
I'm not sure if it's "World's Best Lasagna" or not. I'm pretty sure there's an old Italian lady somewhere that makes a killer one with fresh pasta, etc. But this is pretty dang good. I did (accidentally) omit the fennel seeds. Additionally, I soaked the noodles in hot water for about 10 minutes instead of boiling them, and they came out perfectly. The sauce was a little sweet, next time I would cut the sugar to 1 tbsp. I might also either use spicy Italian sausage or add some crushed red pepper.

Yogurt Whole Wheat Quick Bread
The texture was good, but the flavor was lacking. I added another 1/4 t. of cinnamon, but next time would add 1/2 - 1 t. salt also.
