About this Cook
I've lived a number of places and am fortunate to have experienced a number of different cuisines.
My favorite things to cook
Baking bread, baking brownies, baking cake, baking....
My favorite family cooking traditions
Our family get-togethers, like many families, are surrounded by food. We're the average Midwest family-a variety of typical farm food, a little Asian, a little Tex-mex, a little of this, a little of that. We dabble in variety, but come back to our roots for favorites.
My cooking triumphs
Just making it through the day-to-day for over 30 years is a triumph for me. I enjoy cooking but the grind of everyday cooking wears me down at times.
My cooking tragedies
No real tragedies; perhaps a few embarrassing moments that will remain a mystery to this audience.

The Best Banana Bread
Very good flavor. I used 1/2 brown sugar, 1/2 white. Used 4 bananas, 2 c flour, 1/2 c wheat germ and 1/2 c pecans, Mine seemed a bit dry; will shorten the baking time by 5-10 minutes next time. Good basic recipe.

Christmas Strawberry Bread
While the flavor of this bread is good, I didn't care for the texture. It was very most, almost puddding-like. The color was a very dark red, almost a brown. I was expect more of a quick bread texture. I won't be making this again.

Green Bean and Potato Salad
Good. Not the best. Kids refused to eat it because the balsamic vinegar turned the potatoes brown.
