Acerca de mí
I am a cook that is a follower of recipes...almost to the letter. My darling wife, DJ, makes things up as she goes along. She hasn't made me sick...or tried to poison me...so I guess she is doing a terrific job. We are always looking for recipes that are for two. Recipes we can use for a Romantic Dinner...fun recipes...unusual recipes... daring recipes.
I have been cooking for over 20 years. I may not be good at it...but I sure enjoy it! I am proudest of my grilling and smoking abilities. Those I have been doing for a LONG time!
I have also learned about wines as I move along. I know what I like...especially Chardonnay's with a strong oaky flavor. And I sure don't drink the hoitie toitie wine. The cheap stuff works just as well as the high-price stuff (Yeah for 2 Buck Chuck!) I am a firm believer in box wine, too. I always have a box in the fridge.
I am just starting to taste liquors...bourbon...whiskey...rum...tequila. And I have been experimenting with using liquors in my cooking. This is fun!

I don't follow any particular chef. I follow chefs that have fun with food. And if you can't have fun with food...what's the point? A lot of the recipes I use have more to do with what kind of food mood I'm in. If I get a jones for something, I'm going to find a recipe and make it! That's always been my way of cooking.
