About this Cook
I am a retired teacher. I've always loved to cook and I think I've improved with age!
My favorite things to cook
I love to make pies and other desserts. Fall is my favorite time of year and I love to cook comfort food like pot pies, roasts and soups. I make a mean beef stew.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I really like to make traditional Thanksgiving dinner.
My cooking triumphs
I recently learned how to make aebleskivers and I'm having fun making different kinds.
My cooking tragedies
It really wasn't a tragedy, but I did make corn chowder without the corn!

Perfect Apple Pie
This is so close to the apple pie that I've been making for close to 50 years. The only difference in the crust is that I use part butter for better flavor. For the apples, I like to use Early Golds but realize that they are not readily available everywhere. The others that I've been successful with are combinations of zestar, jonagolds, ginger golds, pink lady and jonathon. I've never understood the Granny Smith recommendations. They do not cook well and always seem crunchy and sour tasting after the pie is done. If that were my only choice, I would not make apple pie. I also use part brown sugar for a yummy caramel-like flavor.

Good Mojito
Looks similar to how I make mojitos and they are excellent! Bob--did you not notice that the mint leaves are part of the muddling? That is the main reason for muddling. I do use a LOT more mint since I have a bunch in my garden and we like the mint flavor.
