About this Cook
My cooking tragedies
My worst dish ever was "health loaf" on the back of a box of veggie burger mix. Putrid would be a compliment- the color, texture and taste were all ghastly. It would make a vegetarian want to gnaw a live sheep. Will never live it down.

Cream of Fresh Asparagus Soup II
Very easy. I used asparagus that I overcooked on the grill the night before and leftover, cooked short-grain rice to thicken it. The hand blender made quick work of the puree step. Garnishes were some of the cooked heads and a little bit sour cream.

Korean Cucumber Salad
Pretty tasty. I followed the recipe except I used thai bird peppers. Spicy, but good if you have something bland like rice or noodles to eat with it.

Banana Pancakes I
This was delicious and quite popular with guests, even my banana-phobic daughter. I used half whole wheat flour and low-fat sour cream thinned with milk as the liquid (I was trying to use it before it expired). I added vanilla, cinnamon and some toasted, chopped pecans too. Since the whole wheat is heavier, I sifted the dry ingredients and found the pancakes were not mushy. Be sure to use a lower heat because they do brown quickly with the sugars in the banana. I served it with warm maple syrup and blueberries.
