A project manager for 25 years, I worked for a major electronics firm - after receiving a degree in Gothic Art History from UC Davis. My husband & I are retired and love to cook together - especially with our grandchildren.
My favorite things to cook
Stews (which taste better the next day because the flavors are blended); desserts (I love experimenting here)
holiday dinners (the excitement one gets in planning a menu, buying the ingredients, and preparing the meal cannot be matched)
My favorite family cooking traditions
Norwegian dishes from my family, and Mexican food from my husband's
My cooking triumphs
any time what I make is finished to the last spoonful
My cooking tragedies
Substituting lemon extract for lemon juice (I was very young)
Mistaking vanilla yogurt for regular in a dip (it was 'interesting')
