I am a half Japanese woman living in Houston Texas. I love to create, be it cooking, sewing, soapmaking, woodworking etc. I HAVE to create, it's in my blood..
My favorite things to cook
Japanese food is among my favourite, I love chinese, italian, and middle eastern cuisine. Of all things, I love to bake the best, Around Christmas, I'll fatten you up. :)
My favorite family cooking traditions
sitting the kids on the kitchen counter while I cook, they taste test foods or nibble on chopped veggies while we talk or sing.
Or waking up at 4:00 a.m. to pop the turkey in the oven on Thanksgiving morning
My cooking triumphs
My silky chocolate pudding cake, my husband put it before his intense love for cheesecake.. I beat cheesecake? Yippy!
My Cream puffs are said t be the best! I make them extra big and fill them with custard until they are bursting! My hubby Loves my butterscotch cream, I like the vanilla, but the kids like my almond custard.
My Butter Chocolate brownies, mmm 8.5 oz of goood chocolate and a big stick of butter...hey ANY recipe that starts with "A stick of butter" is goood!
My cooking tragedies
The first eggs I ever made for my husband, (this was before we were even engaged) ohh Lord, I put Fajita seasoning on them instead of pepper, honestly, those should have sent him running! yuck..
