My cooking tragedies
Making coq au vin in the middle of a kitchen redecoration several years ago: we were about halfway through stripping the wall paper and there was some loose wall paper behind the cooktop. For some reason, I chose that day to be the first time I didn't skip the "add brandy and ignite" step in my recipe. Didn't really expect the flame to go quite so high.

Harvest Rice Dish
This was really delicious. I rehydrated the cranberries in white wine earlier in the day. The oven temperature stated for toasting the almonds is a little high. Next time, I'll reduce it to 275.

Broccoli Cheddar Casserole
I made this for Christmas dinner this year and my picky, veggie-hating nephew ate about a third of it. There is no higher praise.

Easy Tilapia
Tasty and very easy. I was tempted to reduce the butter but don't--you need the full 3 tbs. to balance the capers. I would only note that you need to judge the quantity of capers carefully as there are several varieties.
