I just learned how to make hard boiled eggs properly.

That's as much cooking as I'm willing to do.

I undercooked the banana bread.

I havent been able to make banana or strawberry bread since I moved back to CA. I mastered it in CO, but here..... I fail every time.

What a trip - must be the altitude. I didn't realize it would have *that* big of an impact!

Fresh orange rolls and fresh corn bread. All from scratch, courtesy of my Grandmother's 1953 Better Homes and Gardens cookbook (which is full of regrettable-worthy photos.)

Sniffing the air for orange rolls......

Ah yes, the Better Homes & Gardens, I recall the BBQ section was particularly funny.

Who ever though jello salads were a good thing?

My mom nags at me to cook more. I am a good cook, when I want to be.

I make killer fudge every year during the Holidays.

Lately I have been craving chocolate brownie pudding cake. It is all from scratch and really easy. The batter for the cake is on the bottom and you put a mixture of brown sugar and cocoa over the top, pour on hot water and
as it cooks the brownie comes up and the water mixes with the sugar to form a pudding underneath. YUM!

I've been doing a lot of improvising lately. Nothing fancy, but I tend to wander the aisles at the market, grabbing flavors that I think will work together, and worry about how to actually cook them later. Pasta sauces, chili-style dishes, meat marinades, rice dishes. I'm not so up on complex cooking techniques (though I'm slowly building my repertoire), mostly my strength lies in flavor selection.

I made popovers yesterday for breakfast. I had been a while since I made them and they weren't as full as they usually are. But, I think my oven may have died in the middle of the cooking and that was the problem. I also made a spinach, cream cheese, mushroom, garlic and fontina cheese frittata which was also good but not puffy due to the oven issue.
