About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
Love to bake - in delusional moments I think having a coffee shop/bakery sounds like a nice idea. Also like main courses that require long, slow cooking times - soups, stews, etc. The end of the year holidays are definitely my time of the year.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Dad's spoon fudge. Mom's chicken enchiladas and vanilla pudding (the latter being the best comfort food of all time!). Robin's fried chicken. Steve's grilled steaks. Mike and Beck's chalupa pie. Marilyn and Jim's gourmet creations. Donna's aebelskiver. There's some good eating in this family!
My cooking triumphs
Nothing is more pleasing foodwise than seeing others enjoy my cooking. Most of the time it works - and when it doesn't, I just blame it on a poor recipe!

Broccoli and Tortellini Salad
Loved this stuff! Made as directed except doubled dressing (tho only a little more than 1/2 c sugar - that was plenty sweet). Also saved about 1/4 of the dressing to be added when serving. Next time would do only 1/2 of a red onion; even tho I really like onion, this much was too dominate. Added bacon and seeds when I added the final bit of dressing about 6 hrs later.

Margaritas
Fabulous! It would be 4 stars as shown, but 5 stars for how we did it. Made as directed but included a couple of additional suggestions from Cooper: added a scoop of frozen pineapple concentrate to the mix and then floated a tiny bit of Grand Marnier on top. As good as - no, better than! - any margarita I've ever had. (Making it as shown was a bit too sour for us - the pineapple was the perfect antidote. OJ would be good too but I didn't have that on hand.) It was a verrrrry good party! :)
