Cook the Book: 'Big Bob Gibson's BBQ Book'
We went to a BBQ competition a couple of years ago. The competitors were handing us ribs right out of the smoker... That was the best!
Cook the Book: 'Bottega Favorita' by Frank Stitt
I like to use a whole wheat spiral pasa and then add homemade sauce with seaonsal vegetables. Zuchini is a favorite.
Cook the Book: 'Serious Barbecue' by Adam Perry Lang
My husband and I dream of joining the BBQ circuit. We love to smoke and grill food for our friends and have even catered a couple of parties (for friends and neighbors).
My greatest unique success was grilling a whole Redfish. My neighbor brought it back from a fishing trip and I cooked it up just fine. It was fabulous. I inserted garlic cloves and butter in slits throughout the fish.

Cook the Book: 'Tacos'
One year, I visited a little Mexican island and ate wonderful shrimp tacos right on the beach. I had my toes in the sand and a cold cervesa in my hand. It was soooo wonderful.
Cook the Book: 'Real Cajun'
My dad had the chef at a restaurant come out and explain to me that the the fettuccini was actually just speghetti that had picked early. That was why it was green.
Cook the Book: 'The Asian Grill'
I grew up not ever using lighter fluid. I started my charcoal grills with newspaper in a chimney. Well, one night I just could not keep my coals lit on my charcoal smoker. So, I opend the little door and poured some of our old lighter fluid on the coals. I lit it, but then soon it was out too. Sooo off to the garage I went to get our NEW bottle of lighter fluid. My husband should have warned me... that old and new lighter fluid are different in their strengths. I found out the hard way that brand new lighter fluid can really light you up! Yeah, it's funny now, but my husband still scolds me and tells me I should have gone to the emergency room for the burns on my hand. Nope, I was too proud and embarassed.
Cook the Book: 'Urban Italian'
I don't have many twists, but I do like to substitute some Mexican spices to pasta dishes and make them sort of a Mexican/Italian fusion dish.
Cook the Book: 'Ten'
When I was home after a surgery, I was stuck in bed watching T.V. all day. Over and Over and Over again they showed an ad for KFC's popcorn chicken. I craved that chicken for days. I silently laid in bed and dreamed of those little morsels. One day, my craving got the best of me. I demanded Popcorn Chicken from my loving (and patient) husband. He ran out immediately and got me a huge order. I haven't eaten it since. The craving was satisfied.
Cook the Book: 'Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating'
His interview on NPR was great. He made me think of eating in a more responsible way. In some ways it is better to eat local raised meats than imported produce. That kinda shocked me. We really need to think about the chemicals involved in transport and packaging foods.

I actually tried to make a strawberry cake for my husband. It was his birthday and he really wanted one. I had never even had a strawberry cake before, so yes, it was a disaster. The icing turned out as pure liquid.
Cook the Book: 'The Great Wings Book'
