I live in northern Manitoba, far away from everything. I'm married with a SD, a SS, 7 grandchildren and 3 dogs. I love to cook and like seeing the look of enjoyment on people's faces as they eat something I've made.
My favorite things to cook
Yeast breads, reviving lost or old recipes, Ethnic, Asian, seafood, baking - just about anything I can get the ingredients for (which can be a bit of a challenge up here if it's fresh).
My favorite family cooking traditions
Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without my Grannie's shortbread or my Mom's fruitcake, cherry pound cake or butter tarts. Making fish and brewis, jiggs dinner or my DH's famous seafood linguine whenever the kids come home.
My cooking triumphs
Perfect prime rib with sky-high Yorkshire pudding. Fluffy dumplings that almost need tiny anchors to keep them on the plate. Seafood that comes up to my DH's standards (he's originally from Nova Scotia). Persuading my DH to eat broccoli and have him like it!
My cooking tragedies
Um...don't you mean learning experiences?
