About this Cook
I am a lifetime cook. I attended Le Cordon Bleu in Tokyo for 2 years and I have been cooking since I was 10 and I will be 51 in December 09. I am currently the Republican nominee for US Congress for the 12th Illinois Congressional district. Visit me at www.voteforteri2010.com and find out how the campaign is going!
My favorite things to cook
I cook anything, but I love to make appetizers. I love sampling other people's cooking and I write restaurant reviews.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My sisters and I divide the holidays, mine is New Year's Day. It used to be Christmas Eve but was just too busy with work and I make a huge football food and dessert buffet on Jan 1st for the family!
My cooking triumphs
My BBQ sauce and liqueur cakes sell very well and I have catered many events where people loved the food. My husband is a horribly finicky eater and a diabetic on top of it so anytime I make something he enjoys, it's a personal triumph because he hates EVERYTHING!
My cooking tragedies
I haven't had a cooking tragedy lately although I go ballistic when I have a cake stick to my silicone pans that NOTHING is supposed to stick to, even when I spray them with PAM. It's enraging when you pay so much money for something that is supposed to be non-stick and it isn't!!

Amazing Chicken
I used a whole cut up chicken with the skin on because of the dryness issue I kept reading about. I mixed a package of dry ranch dressing into 1 cup of mayo and followed the rest of the recipe but baked for an hour at 350 and it was very good. As a sidebar, you can use mayo to cook a lot of things like this, I've been doing it for years. It makes your bread crumbs stick tight and keeps food moist.

Slow Cooker Stout Stew
Really delicious but you have to be 21 to buy all of the ingredients! The better the browning, the tastier the stew definitely holds true in this recipe and the long slow cooking takes the edge off of the beer and gives the stew a marvelous flavor!

Dad's Spaghetti Sauce with Coffee
Not a bad recipe but what's the point of adding an expensive jar of sauce when you are going to all this trouble and making a homemade sauce? The coffee added a bitter burnt taste to what was a too-greasy meat sauce. All the oil just adds more grease to the fat from the ground beef that isn't drained out. It was a high school cafeteria meat sauce. It has OK flavor but the pool of red grease on top made it something I wouldn't make again exactly as the recipe directs. The almost 1/3 cup of added oil is way over the top and you should definitely drain out the fat from the ground beef. The secret ingredient coffee flavor could be done a little better by sautéing the tomato paste in ONE Tablespoon of the olive oil at the beginning of the recipe and then adding the cooked and DRAINED beef and omitting the coffee and the additional 1/4 cup (4 TBS) of olive oil called for in the original version.
