You really aren’t cooking unless you're experimenting. Recipes are guides with no soul; it's your job to add the soul.
My favorite things to cook
Lasagna, Chicken Parmesan, Banana Bread, Macaroni and Cheese, and Crab Dip.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every time there are 5 Sundays in a month, my extended family gets together and cooks dinner. Lots of cooks in the kitchen and lots of great food. This is a tradition started by my grandmother because her children moved all over country.
My cooking triumphs
Making my MacGyver dinner with salmon, pasta and a cucumber. I cooked the salmon in a foil packet, boiled the pasta, made a roux with the cucumber, mixed it together and topped it with some parmesan cheese. It was great!
My cooking tragedies
Learning last months ago that bread makers are not set it and forget it! LOL. Wow that was a lot of smoke. (September 2008)
