Do you cook? What's your specialty?

Ooohh I do not cook! I bake, and make dessert, but I do not cook meals. But someday I hope to learn, one dish at a time. Food bloggers are definitely an inspiration. Specially when I watched Julie & Julia too... Maybe I should start with pasta, but lasagna sounds a little tooo complicated for me to begin with. :)

Well I do make a mean lasagna (a few different kinds actually) but I have never tried it with cream cheese. Sounds kinda heavy too but interesting. I cannot truly say I have a specialty though. Italian cooking comes easy to me. I dabble in Caribbean, Asian (Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Indonesian), or just some good old American Soul Food. I am always on the look out for new exciting recipes to try out as well... I'd have to say now one of my favorite crowd pleasers recently has been my Salmon Croquettes with Cheese. Its a lot of work but well worth it. Two 12 oz cans of salmon drained and de-boned 4 large potatoes Table spoon vinegar half cup milk pepper to season Camembert cheese (or whichever u prefer Camembert melts really nice) cut into small cubes Onion (1 small) Oil for frying 1 egg lightly beaten eggs Basically boil potatoes and mash with milk. I have a mortar and pistil I grind the salmon down fine as possible chop some onion in there real fine. Combine with potatoes, vinegar, beaten egg, pepper. Form the mixture into patties like hamburgers, working a piece of cheese into the center, making sure it is completely encased. Store in fridge for two hours (you can skip this step but the patties are easier to cook when you do this). Now you will need 3 bowls for your breading station. One for flour, seasoned with a little pepper, one for egg wash, and one for breadcrumbs (whichever you prefer, I usually make my own). You want to take a patty, coat it with flour, dip in egg wash (shaking off excess), and then into breadcrumbs (coating completely). Add them to pan with hot oil they should be covered halfway. Fry until golden brown and flip. This recipe should make about 12-16 croquettes and they are so delicious!!! The cheese inside is the surprise they never expect and it justs come oozing out when you cut into these babies. I dare you to try it. I'd keep dijon mustard and hot sauce on hand. Goes well with mac and cheese or a salad. Whew!! Never wrote a recipe down before. Harder than I thought..

wow.. that sounds really good. I also like cooking, though I don't really have a specialty. Hehehe. I think it's anything for breakfast. I like cooking breakfast food, like different types of omelet. I just love eating breakfast. hehehehe. With the main course though, it's touch and go, sometimes I cook good, sometimes I don't. LOL.
