Thanks for the replies everyone. Well currently I have been working through eastern european foods. Cabbage and egg noodles with chicken sausage was dinner. I bakes speculass (windmill) cookies this am. My favorite dish? Thats difficult. I adore anything using beef short ribs, seafood and ricotta stuffed shells, lasagna, crepes, roasted pecans are a favorite to bake with, brittles, sweet breads especially with almond or fig filling, I cannot pick just one!
