Been cooking since I was 10, as my mom is a mediocre cook at best and leans toward Midcentury WASP cooking. Depends on the season... Winter I start to crave stews, thick soups and tons of hearty dishes... Summer - it's defintely summer dinner salads. Fall - anything with pumpkin, acorn squash, butternut squash, rutabaga, parsnips, etc. All year long --- Indian, Chinese, Thai and also any gooey, thick, rich, chocolately and really dangerous to a diet dessert We make Kaluha Cinnamon Rolls for Christmas Morning every year. We celebrate Pi day (3.14 - March 14th) every year with a meal of nothing but pies - dinner and dessert pies. Easter wouldn't be Easter without homemade Dolmades Buche Noel for Christmas every year. I was a newly-wed and for one dinner I decided to make Seafood Newburg for my husband. Since there was only 2 of us, I halved the recipe, but forgot to half the sherry. My beloved husband manned his way through several bites, before I tried my portion and gagged. Dear Hubby was too gallant to critize, but was very relieved when after one bit I declared the whole dish inedible.
