Mischief, waiting for dinner
About this Cook
I am a wife, the mother of three kids and two cats. I work freelance from home, and am a part time student. I do almost all the cooking at our house - a complicated process, because I am vegetarian, my son is fructose intollerant, and my husband and daughters aren't either of those things. My challenge is to not make three different dinners every night.
My favorite things to cook
Soups and stews in the winter. Salads and food for the grill in the summer. Desserts, breads, pretty well anything.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Holiday meals, of course. Exam breakfasts for the kids. this is when you have a breakfast themed to the exam you are writing that day - ham omlette (Hamlet) and fruit shake with a speared fruit kabob (Shakespeare) for English exams, etc.
My cooking triumphs
Any dinner that makes those I love happy. We have a family rating system similar to the All Recipes one. Nothing gets made again unless it gets at least 4 stars.
My cooking tragedies
It's all a learning experience. A lime chiffon pie that stayed completely liquid in the centre, a 12 layer torte that tipped in the fridge so the whole bottom of the fridge was covered in torte. Oh well.

Kathy's Roast and Vegetables
Very easy to make and the family really liked it. I didn't bother browning the meat beforehand, and it was fine. Also, when I took the meat out to rest for 15 minutes before carving, I removed the vegetables and kept them warm and added a mixture of 2 tbsp flour kneaded with 2 tbsp margaine to the slow cooker. I put the lid back on and turned it up to high and ended up with delicious gravy for the meat. Thanks!

Banoffee
I'm sorry, but this was way too sweet for our tastes. I also think the crust recipe could have done with about a quarter of the sugar. It was interesting to try, though, and diffewrent from anything I have ever made. Thanks!

Chicken and Bacon Shish Kabobs
These were pretty good. Left off the bacon, as my husband doesn't like it wrapped around meat. The marinade was quick to put together and the pineapple added a nice touch. Thanks!
