My Smashed potatoes, they have never come out like the first time around though. I'm pretty well known for opening the fridge and rummaging then opening the spice cabinet and making something quite tasty... there have been a few duds but what is one to expect!
The biggest disaster was bran muffins that came out salt muffins. I still don't know how or why aside from clearly there was more salt than needed. They were scrapped and I tried again with success.
There is a place Brenham, Tx -- just down the road and around the corner from Snook, that also does chicken fried bacon. Haven't tired it yet, don't know if i can bring myself do it.
If you ever happen to be in Snook go a little farther West on 60 from Sodolak's and stop in ">http://www.slovacek.com/site/index.php> Slovacek's. They are fronted by a (really nice) gas station but have a full meat counter inside. Armadillo eggs are great, the fresh Westphalia sausage is like none other around.
ice tea with lemon and enough sugar to be just barely sweet
Cook's Illustrated did a little review of inexpensive dutch ovens in the February Issue. They liked a Tramontina, 6.5 qt (~$40) and one from Lodge, 6qt (~$65). My husband got me a Calphalon 8qt, its a beast. He liked that its top handle was not plastic. The lid is self basting, has little spiky things the inside for liquid to drop off of. It was a little cheaper that Le Creuset too. Dillard's has them but make sure you look at the inside enamel before you purchase, otherwise you have to lug it back to exchange it.
So happy to hear there are more of us out there... I once thought about tossing some of my Cooking Lights after getting an annual. Husband replied to my thoughts with: 'Well are all the pictures in there that are in the magazines?' he had good intentions.
My house! There is also this place in Huntsville, Tx that I went to many years ago that was very tasty.
I don't believe I have made any thing by her but it is very possible I have. Made an apple pie that looked so good, a friend called me Martha. It was as tasty as it looked.

I did, actually. I put sugar and all kinds of other stuff in one of my mother's nice bowls about 25 years ago. Microwaved it. It set...pretty hard. I think it was hard candy, but I had to throw the bowl away pretty quickly after that. Whoops.
I cook up whatever fresh vegetables I have (brocolli, sweet peppers, onions, and mushrooms are often in the mix) as well as pototoes cut in chunks. The micorwave is fine for that part. Then i mix them all together in a wok with a drizzle of olive oil. Season to taste. No name for it, but the family likes it.
I am a creative cook, always coming up with something different. I made a dish with Rice A Roni, hamburger, tomato sauce and mozarella cheese- I am Italian, so you must have the cheese!
well i put clams in a macaroni salad once.. :)
Not yet, probably never. garrettsambo@aol.com
I've never invented a dish.
I MODIFY.alot as i go along!
I "invent" almost every time I cook. I often change, modify, or re-arrange recipes depending on what I have available - (waste not want not). Thank you for the opportunity to win!
Well, my 'recipe' is more of a combination of things, but my DH and I find it rather yummy. It's 'name' is called (sorry folks, so not appetizing) "Fartblossoms!" LOL
I make a recipe of Manwich Bold with ground beef. Then I mix it with a couple of cans of pork and beans or baked beans, a little molasses, a little Worcestershire sauce and a little Coleman's dry mustard, some Hormel bacon bits. Cook on the stove or in a crockpot til it is nice and thick. Serve with Frito Scoops.
I originally came up with the recipe when I had leftover Manwich and leftover baked beans and I mixed them together.
This is also my much-requested Baked Bean recipe...when I carry it to potlucks or picnics, I use my antique bean pot as a serving vessel.
Yummy Yummy...It is SO good!

Location: Brenham, Texas
About: Husband and I both love to cook all sorts of stuff.
Favorite foods: I tend to lean towards Mexican and Asian flavors. A good steak is always fabulous. Love wine. I can't drink reds, tannins or sulfides do evil things to my brain. We are working on finding out what it is through mild experimentation.
Last bite on earth: Chocolate chip mesquite cookies.....
