About this Cook
My first challenge was cooking at high altitude while hunting. Baby back ribs at 10,600. ft elevation in a dutch oven any one? The dutch oven [sometimes buried in the ground with charcoal] is a great answer to the challenges of high elevation cooking. My wife is an excellent cook and she encourages me with my love of cooking.I have what my wife refers to as the "red neck" kitchen outside under a patio roof. Dutch ovens, griddles, cook-top, smoker,and a gas grill are part of my R.N.kitchen.
My favorite things to cook
I love sea food baked coconut shrimp and a crab omelet are some of my favorites. Chicken-Chicken Marsala, chicken fried chicken, and chicken fajitas. Beef--Philly cheese steak and smoked beef brisket. Pork--baby backs, pork roast and chops. Fish--fish tacos. Finally we harvest elk and we enjoy roast, kabobs, and grind our own excellent elk burger with a mixture of pork shoulder.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Sunday dinner is a special time of family and food at our house.
My cooking triumphs
I could not begin to compete with my dear wife in the cooking dept. She left to visit the kids in California and the realization that Sunday dinner was up to me hit me at 10.30 P.M. on Saturday night. I made chicken fried chicken [first time in our house] which was a huge hit--4 guys cleaned up 3 lbs of chicken breast fillets. We were all grateful when the queen of the house-hold returned. The pay-off was when she asked the boys what they would like for Sunday dinner--chicken fried chicken was the reply--she did not ask for the recipe and made something else.
My cooking tragedies
My tragedy was part of the same meal as stated above. I watched chef John's video on making gravy to compliment the mashed potatoes. It was all coming together and just like the video had the look of another home run. My oops was the last minute discovery that we had no cream and I substituted condensed milk for the cream. My discovery was that condensed milk is very sweet which ruined the gravy. My youngest liked as a dip for the chicken fried chicken.

Herman Biscuits
Excellent --but was worried-no picture and a # of tales of woe. Herman is a sweet sourdough starter and these tasted sweet like they contained honey. I have learned to avoid the slow to rise problems by making the dough the night before--punching it down in the morning--making the dough balls [12] and letting them rise-- baking them at noon. Unlike french begets which can collapse with to much rise time Herman recipes respond well to this approach. Will include a photo next time these were devoured to quickly.

Chef John's Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup
Our all time favorite soup-with the bonus of special healing powers and the cure for the common cold. If you make Chef Johns homemade chicken stock for use with this soup you will attain a whole new level-a guaranteed out of the park home-run every time.

Herman Cinnamon Rolls
These are the best ever. I subbed brown sugar for white,added crushed pecans-no raisins before rolling up the dough with the butter and sugar, and added white cream cheese frosting which is as follows--3oz.cream cheese softened & 1/4 cup of butter softened & 1 1/2 cups of confectioner sugar & 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract & 1/8 teaspoon of salt--blend all the ingredients in a bowl add to rolls after baking and a slight cool down. Warning after enduring the wonderful cooking smell these will go really fast--get one for yourself right away before the bandits arrive.
