My great grandmother's cast iron chicken skillet! Much loved and many chickens later I truly believe this will last for my daughters children to fry in!

Cook the Book: 'Good Eats: The Early Years'

After a painful Thanksgiving with my inlaws I decided that I would make our own family dinner. It turned out great until it was time for desert. The dog had decided she had enough of us ignoring her and jumped onto the table. Pies and whipped cream went everywhere. It was the first and last time our dog ever got on our table.

Cook the Book: 'Dishing Up Vermont'

First to reply to an above comment MA and NY do passable maple syrup but they can never beat VT Maple baby! I am originally from GA and you have not lived until you have had bbq'd GA peaches with ribs! Now I live in VT I make an incredible salad that would make you slap a judge. Locally grown mesculin mix of salad greens along with red onions and cukes. We add in some cooked, cubed pork with VT apples, a handful of walnut and some Cabot cheese. Top it with a maple based dressing and it's love ya'll!

Cook the Book: Martha Stewart's Hors d'Oeuvres Handbook

My favorite moment involved dual cooks, me and my husband have always been a great team. We invited a couple of friends, who invited their friends, who invited theirs....well you can see how this went. We have planned for 15 and ended up with over 70! Good thing I can whip up side dishes like they are free and dh is super greaa at hotwings and mini pizzas. The kids served drinks (no alcohol) and we had a blast all night.
