I have lived in Pittsburgh, Miami, Buffalo, Montour Falls, Morgantown, New York City and Champaign-Urbana!!! When I moved back to my farm in Champaign, I get to cook again all the time! My favorite things to cook include all meats, poultry and seafood...love proteins! My mother was the worst cook ever, so it is a wonder that I like to cook at all. I did not know vegetables did not come out of a can for quite some time. I remember when I was in college and everyone could not wait to go home to Mom's cooking...I would dread going home knowing that I would be eating grey colored beef and pink chicken. And fish...forget it, Mrs. Pauls fish sticks were the closest I ever came! And baking!? Best dish = Chicken Cacciatore, Baby Calves Liver and Onions, Cedar Planked Salmon, Herb Roasted Prime Rib, Sausage Gravy and Biscuits, Cuban Flan Worst dish = Jamaician Me Crazy Chili (reviewed here), baking pastries (remember: Mom did not know how to cook or bake...only Pilsbury cookie dough rolls).
