I am married and have two grown sons. My older son in the Army and is on his second tour of duty in Iraq. I love to cook and go to all sorts of restaurants...even the hole-in-wall ones! Sometimes when the "package" looks a little rough, the contents are awesome!
My favorite things to cook
I am very good at cooking Mexican food. (My mother says that I need to bottle and sell my salsa.) I have been cooking since I was 14 years old.
My favorite family cooking traditions
That would definitely be my mom's famous tacos! They are amazingly good!
My cooking triumphs
I prepared Chinese food for my in-laws (made from scratch) and my father-in-law said it was the best Chinese food he had ever eaten. Not bad for a new bride, huh!
My cooking tragedies
Hmmm, it would have to be when we invited my husband's boss over for dinner. Nothing went right, I made homemade bacon bits, the bacon was very crispy, okay, I overcooked the heck out of it. The steak was tough and the baked potatoes took forever to get done. I was so embarrassed especially since my husband had bragged about what a good cook I am.
