Cook the Book: 'A Platter of Figs'

Pumpkin. I use it in a pecan pumpkin butter recipe that's modified after the one sold by Williams Sonoma but uses less sugar.

I didn't know that electric ovens had to be vented when using the broiler, and I caught a filet on fire. I had to blow and blow on the steak to get the flame out. The filet WAS edible, BTW!

Cook the Book: 'Chocolate Epiphany'

A chocolate trifle I had earlier this year. It was the most amazing concoction of layered and textured chocolate I have ever eaten. Heaven. Absolute heaven.

Paula Deen. just to meet her. I'd have her cook leaner than she does though. Her food is not healthy.

Why does organic milk last so long?

I buy organic skim over regular skim because organic skim tastes and looks better than regular skim. I'm not much of a milk drinker, so the longer shelf life is an added bonus.

When I first got married I wanted to have our families over for a nice Turkey dinner. Well, my dressing was horrible and I didn't take the gibblets out of the turkey before I roasted it. I was so embarrassed.

Working in a fast food restaurant and filling the mayonnaise jug with horseradish instead. The lunch rush was over before I figured out what I'd done wrong and why everyone was complaining about their burgers.

I once used condensed milk instead of evaporated milk in a dish made
specially for the guest who didn't eat meat. It sure didn't taste like it should!

I hate to say, even with 7 years working as a cook I can't really remember any embarassing incidents. I guess I'm lucky!

When I married I was pretty confident in my cooking skills. The second year we were married I found out there were till things I had to learn. That year I decided to have my in laws over for Christmas dinner. I would make most of it with just a couple of my sister in laws adding a dish . Thing is I had never prepared or cooked a Turkey on my own. It was always my mom's job. So Christmas eve i'm getting the Turkey ready and was very upset because MY Turkey didn't have any giblets and I always made my special sage dressing with giblets. I grit my teeth and made the dressing without giblets. Early Christmas morning we opened gifts ad I put on my apron and started cooking, The pies were beautifl the Turkey golden and I was still bemoaning the fact that my dressing was missing the giblets when my oldest sister in law was the first to arrive. She called me to the kitchen and my almost done turkey and showed me where they were hidden at the Other end of the bird. Boy did i blush!! The embarrasement would have ended there, except my loving husband had to tell everyone who walked thru the door about it LOL
