About this Cook
Jesus Christ is cool! I used to be stuck in this job that I hated- long hours, high stress, very percise- extremely well paid- but now I'm living overseas and loving it.
My favorite things to cook
Dessert!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My Mom's Christmas Dinner- White Soup, Pickled Roasted Pepper Salad, Snow Peas in Blackened Butter, Roast Pork Medalions with Pear and Tangerine Chutney, and finished off with chocolate mouse cake! A going on 20 year tradition...
My cooking triumphs
Talking my friends (all 8 couples of them) into a 'let's make Thai and then eat it' party. Some of the guys ran off for the afternoon until it was ready, but we had a blast!
My cooking tragedies
Fried tofu in ginger sauce (10 years ago) I had never eated fried tofu, and well... It's the only time we've chucked dinner in the trash and ordered pizza.

LuvAnn's Guacamole
Due to morning sickness, took out the peppers, but it was still great.

Whipped Shortbread Cookies
great recipe- if you substitute jelly or preserves for the cherries, be sure to use parchment, wax paper or even foil- the jelly drips stick like nothing else. Im soaking my cookie sheets tonight. (Cookies still come off, just leave 'rings')

Walnut Pear Salad
I liked it, but made quite a few changes. Didn't have apricot nectar, so used honey. Forgot the mustard. I only have asian pears here, so used those. Added feta cheese to make it more hearty. Otherwise, it was good and I will probably make it again.
