About this Cook
Haha, why would anyone want to know more about me! Well, I'm a med student who cooks to survive. My mom and dad taught me to cook when I was younger so I didn't need a sitter, by the ripe old age of 18 I could cook anything you wrote instructions for! Question is: will it be good?
My favorite things to cook
Secret beef stew, tuna casserole, satay, Thai food!!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Grilling, BBQ
My cooking triumphs
Secret beef stew... is my homemade recipe!
My cooking tragedies
I nearly set my kitchen on fire when I first figured out my stove had the "broil" feature :( Although the casserole tasted like it had been smoked! Yummy.

Crab Cakes III
At first I didn't think that anyone else had problems with this dish. I had to search through all 1,000+ ratings in reverse order to see that others had my results too. The crab cake was lacking egg and cracker crumbs and ended up just falling apart. I used to make crab cakes fresh after catching/cleaning with my parents back home in WA, but now in TN I tried using pre-cleaned store bought. I don't know if it's a difference in the fresh v. frozen texture or truly the lack of egg+cracker. All I know is that right now I'm making the worst crab stir fry ever. This did NOT take on the cake form for me at all.

Tasty Collard Greens
Wonderful greens. The first time I've made greens and it was so easy! Having just moved to TN from OR I was getting a lot of flack about my "Yankee cooking," but now my friends are thinking twice. I bought 2 bags of frozen, chopped collards (the store's fresh bunches looked less than fresh) and subbed 2# smoked ham hocks for the turkey. Also I added about 1 tbsp each of onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. I also added about 2 tbsps of butter just before serving. Will def make again SOON. Thanks!
