I'm an organist/choirmaster & am currently serving as the organist at Old First Presbyterian Church in San Francisco, CA. Pasta, bread, and grilling. I'm living with a Hispanic family just now and am learning about their favorite foods, and cooking methods. It's really interesting. I come from a long line of farming people. Seems like all the ladies were great cooks. The men, not so much. People love my sourdough bread, and cheesecakes. Not a cooking tragedy per se, but the worst kitchen mess I ever had was breaking a quart bottle of balsamic vinegar. I dropped the bottle on a tiled counter, and it literally exploded - on the ceiling, floors, me - you name it. The aftermath looked like something right out of a scene from one of The Godfather movies.
