Answer 1

Why yes I do consider myself a good cook...every time my family gathers I get drafted to cook...so it seems that I am not the only one that thinks so.

As of late my specialities are soups and stews...something I can take my time with and make sure is spiced correctly. I also like unusual desserts. There isn't a reciepe you can follow...it is about this much of that and a pinch of this...and if your feeling frisky add some of this.

All three of my brother's wife's called me the night before Thanksgiving asking me how to make something. You can't teach anyone to make Stuffing or Cornbread or homemade biscuits and gravy on the phone.

However, at a family gathering...it is usually steak and taters. The secret there is to marinated the steaks and spice them...and then use two different tempatures to cook them. The first is very hot just to sear the outer skin of the cut (to keep the juices inside)...then move it to a lower tempature and cook it slower. And whatever you do don't over cook it...you can always cook it more...but you can never un-cook it. And it goes without saying you have to saute some mushrooms to garnish the steaks. And, if you have time maybe even deepfry some breaded onions and steam some veggies. Someone else can toast the bread...I can't do everything.

And almost anyone can cook taters (well unless you are talking about soft fried Southern taters but that is a different meal...that is Pintos and cornbread and taters).

Answer 2

I am a very good cook, Chris, All Cuban/Spanish/Turkish women need to be. My mixed ethnicity demands that we, women, are raised to be married to men of much consideration, and we may only be very versatile in the Arts of the well, kept home. However, I came to this country at the age of 3 in the eighties and have been raised in the American fashion. I have chosen study instead of traditional roles. I am an artist well-versed in many disciplines and now live alone...therefore I do not cook, since I am seldom hungry although, when I do cook for guests , or family, as my beloved NEPHEW, will exclaim to his father: 'Dad! How does she do it..this is "tight" ', which means very fine! But on the everyday basis I simply work as many hours on my art as is possible.I simply will sup, very casually and not often times as I should if I were living another kind of lifestyle!
