My cooking triumphs
Happily there have been more triumphs then tragedies. The latest was cooking for a rehersal dinner for 40 people at my Sister in Law's wedding. With an extensive menu of Salmon, shrimp, chicken & beef, 3 salads and 2 side dishes it was a busy but rewarding occasion. The greatest challenge of the event was the fact that our stove had broken down, and all the food was prepared on BBQs and side burners.
My cooking tragedies
Not too many tragedies, but the one that stands out was when I was smoking a nice pork loin on the BBQ and I forgot to lower the heat. With 2 other couples coming for dinner, plans changes quickly as I notice our nice, juicy, wonderfully marinated pork loin was a boulder of charcol an hour before our company was arriving.
