I am a new mother and wife. My husband is vietnamese and he really enjoys eating asian food. Unfourtunatly for him I had never cooked asian food. The closest thing I had cooked to asian was opening a can of chow mein and heating it up, lol. Well in the year that we have been married I have been learning to cook asian type of dishes which I am getting better at it but still have a long way to go. However my husband has a major sweet tooth and lucky for him I enjoy baking desserts. So it balances out.
My favorite things to cook
Well as I mentioned before I really enjoy baking desserts with one exception I can't bake pies because I never learned. So that is one thing on my list to learn to make. I like to cook with chicken because there is so much you can do with it. Generally I enjoy baking, the oven is my friend. I also enjoy grilling because it tastes so good.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I don't really have any cooking traditions but my family when I was young would always hang out in the kitchen. We really enjoyed standing around or helping with the preperations for dinner and talking. I have fond memories of just being in the kitchen talking with my mother or other family members.
My cooking triumphs
I don't think I really have any cooking triumphs. I am just happy when I can make something that me and my husband both enjoy, lol.
My cooking tragedies
Pork chops, I can't get them to come out moist and juicy. They are always dry and tough. Also pies don't know how to make them but am learning.
What's this?
