Jesus Christ is cool! I used to be stuck in this job that I hated- long hours, high stress, very percise- extremely well paid- but now I'm living overseas and loving it.
My favorite things to cook
Dessert!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My Mom's Christmas Dinner- White Soup, Pickled Roasted Pepper Salad, Snow Peas in Blackened Butter, Roast Pork Medalions with Pear and Tangerine Chutney, and finished off with chocolate mouse cake! A going on 20 year tradition...
My cooking triumphs
Talking my friends (all 8 couples of them) into a 'let's make Thai and then eat it' party. Some of the guys ran off for the afternoon until it was ready, but we had a blast!
My cooking tragedies
Fried tofu in ginger sauce (10 years ago) I had never eated fried tofu, and well... It's the only time we've chucked dinner in the trash and ordered pizza.
