Hangin' out at the local 127mm rocket impact site - Baghdad. They missed me by 40 meters!
About this Cook
World Traveling (over 42 Countries . . . and counting!) U.S. Army Officer. The 1st thing I do in a new country is head for the market and then find a SMALL, CROWDED restaurant - I want "Mom's" Cooking . . . we can do the pretentious "5-Star, Cork Sniffing" stuff later. (This approach has proved to be "interesting" on a few occasions!!)
My favorite things to cook
Beef Tenderloin (RARE!); Pork Ribs (Baby Back, Country, etc); Beef Brisket; Leg of Lamb & Chops; Steamed Mussels, Shrimp, & MAINE Lobster . . .
My favorite family cooking traditions
Shrimp & Grits; Goetta (http://www.goetta.com); Scrambled Eggs; Country Ham; Smoked Turkey; Corn Pudding; Carrot Puff; Clam Chowder; Yorkshire Pudding; Peanut Soup; Smoked Brisket, Pork Butt, Baby Back Ribs . . . and any other cut of Cow, Pig or Lamb.
My cooking triumphs
Sauerbraten; Rouladen; Red Cabbage; Knodel; Roast Leg of Lamb; Lamb Chops; Beef Tenderloin; Yorkshire Pudding; Prime Rib; Smoked/BBQ: Beef Brisket, Pork Butt, Baby Back Ribs, Turkey.
My cooking tragedies
Tragedy . . ?!? Merely an Alternate Ending! Maybe, the time I used too much garlic . . . na-a-a-a! You can't use "too much garlic"! Impossible!!!

Kentucky Bourbon Marinade
I just tried this recipe on a family grilled chuck recipe we have used for years - it is outstanding.

Shirley's Maine Clam Chowder
Use Salt Pork - these days "Bacon" comes with flavors (maple!!) that don't blend well with clams. BUTTER (!), Thyme (CAREFUL! Go Slow. It can quickly overpower the chowder!) & White Pepper. Best made the "Day Before". Like many soups, stews and chowders . . . time adds to the fullness of the flavor.
