(i'm no way a homemaking diva like you are, but I'm handy in the kitchen).<BR/><BR/>1) I can make almost any dinner into a vegetarian meal and no one misses the meat.<BR/><BR/>2) When grilling salmon I like to grill the skin side down. Then at the last 3 minutes I use a knife to peal the skin off and then throw it into the coals and put the cover over the grill. It gives the salmon a natural smoky flavor because the skin burns and fills the grill with smoke.<BR/><BR/>3) I use maple syrup (real not log cabin or anything like that) and balsamic vinegar to marinate my portabello mushrooms before grilling them<BR/><BR/>4) Every Christmas I make a traditional German gingerbread house (tastes and looks nothing like an American one).<BR/><BR/>5) I too am a garlic fiend. I know what you mean about washing the sheets! phew!<BR/><BR/>6) I usually roast a duck for Christmas instead of the ham and turkey thing. <BR/><BR/>7) My signature breakfast dish is eierkuchen. It is the German version of pancakes that I make from scratch. Jonathan tells me he could never eat an American pancake again. So, when I come up to visit we will have to have a show down of the griddle...our own Iron Chef pancake show down. = )<BR/><BR/>8) I have become a sushi rolling master, and have come up with some signature dishes that even those that say they will never eat sushi have actually tried and loved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533593327673491613.post-14516545916704043842007-11-08T10:15:00.000-05:002007-11-08T10:15:00.000-05:00I am a little behind at reading your blog.

Though when I attempt whole wheat bread it is so dense and heavy we all need a nap just after eating one piece. Let me know what you do, thanks. I'm such a foodie, loved this blog entry! :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02187511703267265326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533593327673491613.post-54114193471618469882007-10-22T20:02:00.000-05:002007-10-22T20:02:00.000-05:00HeyI grind my own flour, Megan got me started last...Hey<BR/>I grind my own flour, Megan got me started last year about this time and would really recommend it. <BR/>I love it!Mullismayhemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13901978780789400304noreply@blogger.com
