Mouth watering goodness...

Ooh, ooh! Almost forgot the Friday Five!

1. What was the first thing you ever cooked?
I have no clue. Does warming up soup count? Probably not ... oh, does baking count? I baked cookies. Other than that, I'd have to go with Kraft Macaroni and Cheese.

2. What's your signature dish?
It's becoming spinach and artichoke dip. I get asked to make it for many family gatherings, and given the recipe to friends. I'd prefer it to be something else, but hey, it's quick, easy, and good. Though not good for you.

3. Ever had a cooking disaster? (tasted like crap, didn't work, etc.) Describe.
Always. I like to try new recipes, and then get really pissed when things don't come out right. My husband hates it when I get so mad at myself, but I'm trying to make something perfect, dammit, leave me alone! But I'm more of a baker than a chef, so all of the crap is dessert-related, and therefore not as much of a disaster as it COULD be.

4. If skill and money were no object, what would make for your dream meal?
Ooooh! Prime rib with popovers, twice-baked potatoes, crisp steamed green beans with garlic. Oh, and start with a nice fresh salad with bleu cheese dressing. And an appetizer of fried calamari Rhode Island style (garlic butter and hot peppers). Have a nice glass of Merlot or Shiraz with the prime rib. Then hot tea (some variant of black, not herbal) and cheesecake with a fresh fruit topping - no canned crap. Strawberries or raspberries or blueberries.

Damn, good thing it's time for lunch!

5. What are you doing this weekend?
Leaving on a jet plane to Vegas on Saturday. Getting in late enough that I have no idea what we're doing on Sunday, other than trying to sleep in.
