My cooking triumphs
My first Thanksgiving dinner in a new house while I hadn't quite figured out the temperamental oven.
My cooking tragedies
First quiche baked at my new residence when I hadn't yet figured out the oven. Raw inside, burnt outside. Also, a few years ago when I prepared my very first brined turkey for Thanksgiving---way too salty. My Mom cried that she couldn't eat it and made my brother (who dubbed this turkey "Turkey of the Sea") go out and buy another turkey for our dinner. Didn't eat until 8 p.m. A disaster.

Tropical Pork Chops
I doubled the sauce to make sure to have enough to go over rice. While the sauce was tasty, I wasn't really blown away, and the chops weren't as tender as I thought they'd be, though I used center cut loin chops. Probably won't make again unless requested by a family member.

Yummy Honey Chicken Kabobs
I doubled the marinade amts. upon the advice of others. It is an excellent marinade if you let it soak in overnight. I did the chicken cubes and vegetables on separate skewers, using both Vidalia and red onions, red and green bell peppers, and medium-sized white mushrooms. Will be making this again. May try with shrimp or sea scallops next time.

Fantastic Focaccia Bread
This is the second time I made this fantastic bread, each time with the help of my KitchenAid mixer, as I have physical limitations and cannot stand in one place long enough to knead the dough. Again, the bread was a complete success. I doctor it up to mimic a local bakery's favorite of ours, using sliced Roma tomatoes, spinach, sliced black olives, minced garlic, crumbled feta and freshly cracked black pepper. Outstanding. This is my go-to recipe for homemade focaccia. Thank You!
