At Ibu Oka, in Bali, I asked to see where the pigs were being roasted for the babi guling and was sent back through the outdoor kitchen, through the family compound and finally face-to-face with four very-much still alive pigs.

Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?
A Hole in One!!!! My grandfather used to make these for me when I was a very little girl, visiting him in Lancaster, PA. He was not a golfer. He was first-generation American of Swedish descent, who had grown up in Salt Lake City, Utah.

i completely botched a pineapple upside down cake. too much butter and too much pineapple led to a buttery pineapple mess... too bad cause i know its a good recipe.
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Cake Wrecks'
I don't bake, baking scares me. One time in high school I decided to overcome this fear and suprise my mother with a pan of brownies. I hate nuts in my desserts, but she loves them so I figured I'd take one for the team and throw in the bag of walnut pieces I found in the back of the pantry. Well, she takes one bite and makes this face because apparently the nuts were rotten and the whole pan of brownies was ruined. I still don't trust nuts in baked goods and haven't thought twice about baking something since then.

Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'
I'm a simple kind of lady, so my favorite soup is homemade chicken noodle. I like to make it with escarole and egg noodles. It's just so delicious.

Currently I crave the Thai Suki after reading all this. I'm sad that I never see it in the states. My fav place in Thailand is MK restaurants. Super cold restaurant, super hot soup!
Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'
homemade soups, starting with meat bones and ending with seasonal vegetables....the best! takes hours to simmer on the stove...but the end results are used in so many meals...the simplest being laddled into a big bowl and with a crusty bread on the side.

When I went to stay with my aunt and uncle this past summer, my aunt's mom made potato bacon soup for dinner one night. It was delicious! :)
Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'
Wild rice soup. A thick, creamy base with vegetables and chicken added. Top with parmesan cheese and homemade croutons.

My most recent baking mistake: Making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and forgetting the oatmeal. It took an embarrassingly long time to figure out what was missing!
Not baking, per say, but the olive oil story reminded me of a time when I tried to make Annie's mac and cheese without butter. I substituted EVOO instead thinking it would taste the same (stupid). It was hands down the most disgusting pasta I've ever had.

growing up, my mother made the best borsht. It was full of potatoes and meat and was so good and hearty.
Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'
My favorite meal worthy soup would be homemade bean soup with ham and bacon in it. I make it with a ham bone and let it simmer for about 3 hours. Very tasty and filling. I also like my mom's homemade vegetable soup with fresh veggies from the garden! Mmm good!

My mother made a hearty chicken noodle soup with lots of chicken and vegetables. garrettsambo@aol.com
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Cake Wrecks'
Cakes and dogs--never a good combination. How many of us have left the celebratory creation just a tad too close to the edge of the counter, only to come home from the big meal out, mouths set for sugar, to discover that fido has once again proven his real reason for being, i.e., to grab all the available food whenever you're not looking?
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Cake Wrecks'
French Bread. It never rose, it smelled weird and ended up baking into a puddle. Ate it anyway.
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Cake Wrecks'
Anything I bake is probably a disaster, but that I why I let my wife do all the baking.
Cook the Book: 'Japanese Hot Pots'
My Momma liked to make big ol pots of soups and stews. All us kids and our kids would come over and eat. Sometimes she'd be creative and add different things. My Daddy would smell it and come in and ask what she was cooking. She would tell him she was making "stuff". It was funny. She was a great cook.

I love a good Colombian sancocho with lots of garlic and cumin!
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Cake Wrecks'
We ordered a store-bought cake when my mom received her masters degree in writing. As we were putting the candles on, we realized it read "Congrulations!". We decided the misspelling was highly appropriate for the celebration...
