It's relaxing, and I have a great time cooking and decorating the dishes I create. I love to see the looks and hear the comments when something comes out, even better, than I expected. I love to cook anything. I have a number of dishes I am just waiting to try, from home made Jambalaya to Salmon in puff pastry Cooking for 26 people at our house for a progressive wine dinner, including the owners of the winery. I love to cook a number of different things, and like a bartender has to drink his mistakes, I get to eat a lot of errors. I won't serve the "darker" portions to my family, but I will eat them. I guess you could say, I treat myself like a GOD and give myself burnt offerings.
