World's Greatest Martini
This is nearly the ideal recipe for a Perfect Martini, which uses a 50/50 blend of sweet & dry vermouth. A 4:1 gin/vermouth ratio is more traditional, but the recipe gets dryer as time passes. I think originally, martinis were a 50/50 gin & vermouth blend.

Ken's Perfect Hard Boiled Egg (And I Mean Perfect)
This was TOTALLY awesome! We eat deviled eggs a lot because they're my brother's favorite thing, but we live at 7,000 feet and have SUCH a hard time getting anything to turn out that involves boiling liquid (i.e., pasta, baking, pretty much anything you cook, etc.). Because of our elevation, I had to cook them 20 minutes, and they could probably have done with maybe 2 minutes more, but they were SO easy to peel and looked gorgeous! Ken is my new hero.

Filipino Spaghetti
My first husband was Filipino, and this was a staple in his family. I ended up loving MOST Filipino food, but this wasn't one of my favorites. It's all right, not super great. For authenticity, buy the pink hot dogs they sell at the Asian market (same place you have to go to find banana ketchup).
