My Grandfather making breakfast. He was a silent man and showed his love by doing something special for his grandkids. When spending the night has his house we would wake up every morning to his cooking bacon, fried eggs and toast. The eggs cooked in the bacon grease. He never altered his menu and continued this even when I was an adult. He passed away over 20 years ago and miss his special love.

Raspberry Cheesecake. While I was pregnant I drove around Seattle at 10 o’clock at night looking for it. Never found raspberry, had to settle for plain.

Love t-bone

potato salad

carbonara

My baking disaters are everything right now. I'm renting and the oven is the worst. The temperature in the oven is all over the place. So antything I bake could be burnt on the bottom, dry on the sides and uncooked in the middle, who knows until you take it out of the pan. Hate it.

Several years ago I was heating oil in wok for stir fry and turned my back for a couple of minutes. Bad idea. Suddenly flames are reaching half way to the ceiling, the smoke detectors sounding and the kids are screaming. Grabbed the baking soda and quickly got it out but the kitchen was full of smoke and the ceiling was black. Had to leaving the windows open all night to air out and repaint the ceiling. Couple of days later it was my birthday and one of my friends thought it was appropriate to give me a fire extinguisher as a gift. Still have it to this day and never another need to use it.

A glass of Robert Modavi Merlot Reserve at a special wine tasting at the vineyard in 1986. Bought one bottle to take home with me. Could never find the same after that.

Australia - Shrimp on the Barbie

The kitchen godess of comfort food Paula Deen. Not only would she bring great southern food but tales along with it. Never would I let Sandra Lee step in my kitchen.
