Great Chefs, not so important is who they are but what made them great. It was about a year ago I started writing blogs, I say blogs because I have tried several sites that have not worked. When the idea hit me for this particular subject for my blog, I had been writing about Living in a Spiceless world, the DW does not like a lot of spices. After writing my last blog entry, I realized that my passion was the cooking, the reason I had that passion wasn’t the cooking per say but the pleasure I received...
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]When I started these blog entries, I was looking for a way to write my frustration and difficulty of cooking for a person that does not like spices. It was no way to imply that I do cook for just me, I still am in love with my DW, and do I try to please her, oh yes and would not have it any other way. I cook because I love to cook; I cook for her because I love her. Would I ever tell her well just cook for you and I will cook for me, no I am not that heartless, nor...

Not in my book, they were juicy...
My latest try was Cuban sandwiches. After seeing the article on them, I remembered how good they were, I had one in Florida when we were at Disney World. So with recipe in hand, I started gathering ingredients. Went to our local store to the deli, picked out my ham, got the baby Swiss cheese, then started looking for some roast pork, well they did not have any, nor was there any even in the process quick package meats, guess I will make my own, but made another stop, still no pork at this deli,...
Since this weekend is Mother's Day, this blog will be dedicated to my Mother Barbra Jeanee. When I read about mothers most people talk about what their mother did for them, or for others. I have been one all my life to look at thing differently, thanks to my mom. I think it is not what we do in life but what we leave behind that sets the legacy of how people will see us. So with that in mind, my mother has a long line of legacy, she has raised 11 children, yes 11, I have 5 brothers and 5 sisters....
