Cooper'sMom
Senior Cook
You know, I forgot to tell you -- I sometimes use leeks instead of onions in my recipes that calls for onions because they are of the same family and DH is not allergic to it.
And yes, buckytom -- I used to experiment with my children too when they were living with us, especially if I have a dinner party in two weeks time or something. I will plan my menu and try each recipe every other day or so and if I got good kudos, I put a check mark beside the menu or else I try another one. Nowadays I only have DH to try my experiments with... so usually when I am going to have a party, I only cook my tried and tested recipes.
