About this Cook
I am a dynamo!
My favorite things to cook
Depends on the season. In the summer nothing beats grilling out with friends. Fall it's pumpkin pies, apple crisp, sweet potatoes and squash. Winter - beef stew, chicken soup, corned beef and cabbage! Spring.... Well, who knows. In New England spring is either winter or summer. Also, pizza year round - fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil, delicious and much healthier.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom would make roast beef and let me chew on the strings used to tie up the roast.
My cooking triumphs
Any time someone eats something I've prepared and gets happy, basically.

High Temperature Eye-of-Round Roast
I dunno, I think you probably have to have a well-insulated oven for this to work. I followed the directions dutifully with a small roast (2.25lbs), and even left the oven on for a few extra minutes. The roast was too rare to eat - it was thoroughly bloody and registered about 90 degrees on the meat thermometer. I've put it back in at 350 and will probably have a dry, bleh roast in a few minutes. Our oven is a little old so that's probably the issue - I wish I had seen the review where the reviewer had successfully left their older oven on at 200 degrees.

Butternut Squash-Sweet Potato Ginger Bisque
This is a good basic recipe that can easily be tweaked to your individual liking. I followed the most helpful recipe's advice and sauteed an apple and green onion in butter. Great idea! I only used two sweet potatoes (they were quite big), and added the following spices: 1/2 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon. It's really good. Garnished with chopped scallions.
