About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
I never really thought about it because I only cook things that I like to cook, so it's hard to have a favorite.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Thanksgiving dinner.
My cooking triumphs
Thanksgiving start to finish for 20 with no help! (Well, maybe someone else set the table for me).
My cooking tragedies
Every now and then I produce something inedible. Most recently I tried a slow cooker variation of a dish combining carrots, sweet potatoes, and butternut squash. Bad karma, we threw it out. Somehow what tastes good individually turned out horrible when combined that way.

Absolutely Fabulous Greek/House Dressing
Great basis but a little too tart without some adjustments. I dropped the wine vinegar to equal proportions with the olive oil, and added a little sugar to taste in order to balance the flavors. That being done, it was perfect.

Greek Orzo Salad
Delicious side dish, thank you so much for sharing it with us. I added more cucumber and tomatoes in order to emphasize the salad quality, and I used the Absolutely Fabulous Greek/House dressing from this site. You can hold the olives and feta cheese until just before serving if you don't want the feta to dissolve in the dressing too much. Orzo is a wonderful pasta for salads because its compact shape seems to keep it from tearing or disintegrating.

Shepherd's Pie II
Good but slightly bland. Could be given more flavor with some additions, including minced garlic, diced green bell peppers, and diced celery. Simmering after adding a half cup of inexpensive red wine can also give an added dimension to the flavor if you do not object to cooking with wine.
