Cook the Book: 'Tacos'
The taco I remember most was actually the worst taco I ever had. While traveling in Australia I stopped in a "Mexican Cafe" where I'm pretty sure that no one who worked there had ever been to Mexico or had even met a person of Mexican heritage. The taco's they served to me and my traveling companion had some sort of melted cheese and what appeared to be spam in a stale taco shell with french fries on the side. I remember thinking I could open aTaco Bell franchise here and make a killing.
Cook the Book: 'The Asian Grill'
Super Bowl Sunday my crazy SIL brought over her untrained dogs they knocked over the grill sending meat and hot coals every where. The dogs got the meat, And we ordered pizza which took over an hour to arrive. New rule at our house leave your pets home.
Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'
We call it Italian in a square pan, It's never the same except the sauce is usually red, The filling is usually whatever is pasta is available and whatever meat, vegatables and cheese we have handy. Sometimes it's fantastic and sometimes not. (Tip: never use saurkraut for a vegetable in your italian dish.)
Cook the Book: 'Ten'
I spent a couple of years in Alice Springs Australia in the 80's and found that there was no Mexican food to be had, I would go to this little specialty store to buy the corn tortilla shells (That were usually stale) and make my own tacos, But near the end of my stay a fellow american who happened to be of Mexican heritage showed up and he knew how to make flour tortillias. He also would get care packages from home containing dried beans and seasonings and would throw great partys with great food, He became my new best friend.

I made walnut brownies with walnuts that had secretly gone bad...it was a giant inedible pan of musty, nasty brownies. Sick and so, so sad.

As a kid, my best friend and I made sugar cookies. She read the ingredients as I incorporated them. She read off 1/4 cup of salt, I then asked her if she read that right because that was a lot of salt. She insisted she was correct and I added that amount in. Once the cookies had baked, we couldn;t wait to try them, we each took a bite and spit them out. She was wrong, it was 1/4 tsp salt!

My most triumphant baking success was making brownies for my friend.

no disasters but I haven't tried to make anything that seems too complicated for me, I guess the triumph would have to be making pound cakes, just because I had to make them with a hand mixer

My most disasterous was when I was about 8 or 9, I deceided to make my mother a surprise cake. I got up about 4 in the morning and decided to make of all things a chiffon cake. Well it calls for lots of eggs and etc. When that cake came out it was flat as a pancake and I cried and cried, but my mother said it was the thought that counted, but she was not happy I had used so many eggs.

My greatest success was the first time I made bread. I was inspired by a retired pro-wrestler (yeah, a "wrassler") interviewed in the student newspaper. He baked bread, read classic literature and was a tour guide at the local zoo. If he could do it, I could do it. And it did.

Oh, just pick me, I always enter and never win, but this book I REALLY want. I now live in the south (KY) and really need to show up my next door neighbor, she's just a little too cocky about her pies. And I'm telling you, they aren't that good. This old lady needs to be taken down a couple of notches!

I made an apple pie in college from apples grown on my parent's farm for a girlfriend. It came out quite well.

My baking disaster was the time I made a red velvet cake and forgot to put in the baking powder. I ended up with a 1/2 inch thick red, tough cake. It didn't taste bad, but the texture was horrible.

My greatest baking success is finally learning how to make my great grandmother's pie crust using her method. It took me awhile, and I had a few of my greatest disasters during the process (including a pie crust that literally disintegrated and became part of the filling), but I've finally gotten the feel for it. I hope it makes her proud.
