About this Cook
I heart food :)
My favorite things to cook
I love cooking all kinds of things but a lot of my specialties are American comfort foods.
My cooking triumphs
Thanksgiving 2007: I was transporting most of my cooking pans, tools, and food to a friend's house to prepare dinner for 7. We couldn't do it at my place because my oven is too small. The central heating at my friend's house had gone kaput but we kept things warm and toasty with the fireplace, a few space heaters, and the oven. I made a turkey, stuffing, pecan bars, mashed potatoes, corn, salad,...the works! The turkey was my best yet!
My cooking tragedies
My first and last attempt "baking" a cake in a microwave...in the late 80s, I think.

Spinach Basil Pesto
I just got a food processor and this is the first thing I made. It's delicious! I cut the recipe in half but followed the recipe exactly. Nowadays I'm much more conscious of ready-made store bought food, with ingredients I can't pronounce. This way I know exactly what I'm eating and it's so easy to make.

Shoyu Chicken
This is delicious! I halved the recipe and made it in a Crock Pot, low heat for 8 hours. When it was done I shredded it so it looked more like pulled chicken. I also took some extra marinade in a saucepan and whisked in some sriracha sauce, bringing it to a boil. Served it over the chicken.

Thai Green Curry Chicken
Far too salty as written!! I should have known better and tasted it before I added the 2nd TB of soy sauce. I had to do some doctoring to make it edible.
