About this Cook
I've always done some of the cooking, but started doing all of it two years ago after my wife had back surgery, which made it almost impossible for her to stand up for more than a few minutes at a time. She's better now, but I still do most of the cooking. Having retired in 2000, I have the time for it.
My favorite things to cook
If it tastes good, and isn't incredibly difficult and time consuming, I'm game. Sometimes, even time-consuming is OK, as in the case of barbecue.
My cooking triumphs
Veal Picata is my wife's favorite dish, but I clipped a Chicken Picata recipe from the Atlanta Journal-Consitution that she likes even better.

Burgundy Pork Tenderloin
Got to invite someone over for dinner soon, because this is definitely company fare -- not that it isn't fine for just the wife and me (although that requires cutting it in half, and still leaves leftovers. When I served it, my wife said, "Oh, that looks so good." When she tasted it, she said, "Tastes good, too; really good. This is a keeper." So easy, too. Browned tenderloin in skillet before putting in oven, and added mushrooms, as another reviewer suggested, and it wasn't nearly done after 45 minutes; needed about 15 minutes more.

Cajun Baked Catfish
This is a fine recipe if you don't love catfish. The problem is that if you do love catfish (and I do), the spices completely mask the flavor of the fish. On the plus side, it is very easy, very quick.

Paula's Bread Sticks
I can make tasty biscuits and cornbread. I can make popovers that pot right through the roof. But I've never been able to make decent rolls despite trying dozens of recipes, some that seem to work perfectly for other people. These bread sticks are a wonderful substitute, and as an earlier reviewer noted, they reheat beautifully after freezing (15 minutes in foil at 350).
