Former dumper forced to culinary school to gain at least some credibility. HAH! Dumps again...
My favorite things to cook
Good at things that catch fire. Grill, griddle, smoker, wok, etc. Desperately trying to learn how to bake. Heat tolerance close to the surface of the sun, Thai, Vindaloo, Mexican flavors all regulars in the house. Obviously a Leo.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mother is an extreme baker, gingerbread houses, stroudel, everything I am err, well trying. My wife and I are into chili, ribs, Tex-Mex and Far Eastern cuisine. Family more old skool Euro.
My cooking triumphs
Angel food cake, about 6/20/10, my first cake that actually was mistaken for store bought. As if that's a compliment....
My cooking tragedies
Can this include exploded or burnt to shite equipment? I guess the worst was the peanut oil fire when I tried to use the stuff to deep fry egg rolls before I knew the flash point was so low...
