About this Cook
Widower trying to put all the kitchen toys to work! Finding it fun.
My favorite things to cook
I find that baking bread is the favorite thing right now. So simple but very challenging at the same time.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Mom used to make the best homemade candies. If I didn't live in Hawaii, I'd be making some. Humidity is way too high here for that.
My cooking triumphs
Winning best dish award at the last cooking club get together. I made the Alton Brown's Red beans and rice with a big platter of corn muffins from a AR recipe.
My cooking tragedies
Putting way too much anise in a scratch cake my mom let me make when I was about 12 or 13. Just couldn't taste the anise in the batter so I kept adding more!! Should have smelt the house.....

Bread Pudding II
Nice recipe. I used a loaf of French brioche bread that I had in the freezer. Didn't have golden raisins so I used regular raisins. Also, I didn't use the 3 TBS of butter. I only used enough to lightly coat the pan. I did add 1 cup of chopped pecans. After it cooled down from the oven, I topped with the vanilla sauce from "Bread Pudding" from this site. The sauce was great and the pecans gave it a nice "extra".

Chicken Pot Pie IX
Followed the recipe pretty close. I did cook the chicken in 3 cups of broth and when I made the rue after cooking the onions, I used about 1/2 cup of flour and a little over 1 cup of milk as well as upping the spices a bit along with some poultry seasoning (about a 1/4 ts spoon). As I cooked the sauce, I did add a couple of TB spoons of flour to get the desired consistency. Another change I made was using a couple of small russet potatoes rather than the peas.. didn't have any in the house. I had some friends come over to "test" the pie and one friend said it tasted better than what her grandmother used to make! That was quite a compliment, considering this was my first time making a pot pie! One last thing to mention. I used the "Flaky Food Processor Pie Crust" from this site. I've tried several and personally feel it is the best pie crust recipe hands down.

Blackberry Pie I
Nice tasting pie. Paired this with "Flaky Food Processor Pie Crust" from this site and wow'ed friends at game night. Follower the recipe pretty close. I just sugared all the berries in one bowl with the flour and used an egg wash instead of the milk. I also only used about a tablespoon of sugar on top. One other thing I did, was to add a little lemon juice to the frozen berries to brighten up the flavor a bit. Nice to cut a piece of berry pie and not have all the filling run out into the pan.
