The Friday Five
I don't normally participate in the Friday Five, but this one actually pertains to my alleged subject matter, so here goes.
What was the first thing you ever cooked? I don't really remember, but if we exclude microwaving canned pasta, I'm pretty sure it was a grilled cheese sandwich.
What's your signature dish? Up until recently it was also the grilled cheese sandwich. Nowadays it's a chicken pot pie, which I learned to make from scratch at the Food TV Live convention. It's the one people ask for when I come to visit, which is neat. It's a traditional comfort food, and it actually takes a bit of skill to make, so it's more of an accomplishment than two slices of Kraft American Cheese Food Product between two slices of Wonder Bread.
Ever had a cooking disaster? Describe. Sure. Who hasn't? The most recent was some turkey mignon things and some instant mashies that didn't quite come together. Burnt on the one hand and gloppy on the other. Eeeugh.
If skill and money were no object, what would make for your dream meal? A really great beef roast made from one of those cows they pamper on Japanese hillsides, with fresh garlic mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli with that cheese sauce my sister-in-law Jennifer made last Thanksgiving, and some of those cheese biscuits from The Lady & Sons. Yeah, tons of carbs and fat. But the question says "dream meal," so I'm dreaming that it all evaporates from my body the next day.
What are you doing this weekend? (I guess they ran out of cooking questions.) Hopefully I'll get some more edits done on the book. Scott and I will write a review of The Satanic Rites of Dracula. Tomorrow night we're going over to Tim and Teresa's for a game night. And hey, Monday is a holiday, so hopefully I'll get lots of work done on the book. Maybe I'll even wrap up the wedding recap for the blog.
