Cook the Book: The Sweet Melissa Baking Book
German Chocolate Cake
the extra large Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs and then there's ham with brown sugar glaze and pineapples on them.
I would have all things potatoes, lasagna, salad and a huge German Chocolate cake. My guests would be George Clooney, President Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Danny diVito to provide some laughs, Bon Jovi to sing my favorite songs and author Gail Fraser who writes one of my favorite book series and I would request the dinner to be at George Clooney's Italian villa.
When I make chicken, our three cats sit by the counter in anticipation of the morsels they'll get. Tiger(a cat I rescued from outside and has food issues, in that he always wants it) has been known to sit for a half hour waiting for it to finish cooking. The three of them always lick their plates clean.
Potatoes with bacon and cheese slathered all over them,,mushrooms, peppers and onions mixed in...oh my god...where are they...sour cream on top...I need them now...
Second is chocolate...you don't have to wait for it to finish cooking.
I taught myself through trial and error amd then of course there's Rachael and Sandra and Jamie and Paula and all of the other Food Network chefs. It's amazing the things you can learn by watching these shows.
One of my favorites is Nichola Fletcher. She wrote the book Charlemagne's Tablecloth. It's a book about the history of feasting; how grand dinners played a vital role throughout the history of the world. It shows how grand dinners didn't always happen around a table(one it profiles took place in a medieval bathtub; another was held on horseback on the 4th floor of a New York restaurant in 1903. It delves into anceint persia, medieval Europe and contemporary celebrations of rites of passage. Another book like it is Feast by Roy Strong.

I love dark chocolate when there is a filling involved. I also love milk chocolate..I like to let it sit on my tongue and melt slowly. Oh my heavens I need some chocolate now!!!
