My Greatest Cooking TriumphThat had to be when I was 19, had just moved to my very first apartment, and decided to bake a loaf of yeast bread after reading a recipe and thinking, "It doesn't seem to be that difficult." I'd watched my mother bake bread for years prior to that, but had never attempted it myself. After running to the grocery store for the necessary ingredients, and to the neighborhood hardware store for a loaf pan, I had at it. It turned out perfectly. My roommate and my then-boyfriend gobbled up the entire loaf--I think I only got to eat one slice! (The recipe was called Cottage Dill Bread, and I've seen a similar recipe on the TOH website.)
My Biggest Kitchen DisasterThe time I tried to make grape preserves from wild grapes? The time I ended up scrubbing homemade spaghetti sauce off of the kitchen ceiling? The time I fell asleep on the couch while supper was cooking and reduced a lovely Swiss steak meal to charcoal briquettes? The time I had guests and the pork roast was just not getting done, so I kept urging the guests to "have another glass of wine, it'll be done soon," and the problem turned out to be a faulty meat thermometer? There have been more than a few. I don't dwell on them, at least not too much.
