About this Cook
I grew up in the 50's and early 60's and the memories of those years really are like the early sitcoms! Mom stayed home, we picked Dad up at the train station in the evening and came home (always) to a family dinner. And breakfast? Bacon, eggs, toast...or pancakes and sausages even on weekdays. It was a wonderful way to grow up!
My favorite things to cook
In the summer, I really enjoy the outdoor grill. Cornish hens, ribs, even pizza tastes better when they're cooked outdoors. Otherwise, I'm a big fan of comfort food...pot pies, stews, meatloaf and things like that.

Slow Cooker Texas Pulled Pork
DH the barbecue lover said it was very good. I used 1/2 c. bbq sauce and 1/2 c. chili sauce. I used slightly less chili powder and thyme than the recipe called for, and slightly more onion and garlic, just personal preference. I pulled it after 8 hours on low, and it was a little tough and the sauce was very liquid. Put pulled meat back into sauce for another 3 hours on low and it was perfect.

Elegant Scalloped Potatoes
My guests thought this was delicious...the only thing I tweaked is that I added 1/2 t. mustard powder to the spice mix, and it made a good difference. If you're using russets and microwaving them first, don't be disheartened by the leathery look of the skin when you start to cut them up, and don't be tempted to peel them. The skins sort of disappeared in the finished product, and I think they added a texture that was a positive addition.

Mouse's Macaroni and Cheese
I've made this twice and really like it. In addition to the mustard powder, I add garlic powder and some minced (dried) onions. I ran short of yellow cheese while making this yesterday, and threw in about 2 oz. of cream cheese. It was a good addition, both for flavor and creaminess of the sauce. Thanks Mouse!
