Still try to replicate dishes when we go out, and these days with the economy being what it is, I watch food network for inspiration, and do my own take on their dishes. Mom was a good cook and dad was as well, but he was steak (burger) n potatoes kinda guy, and mom cooked irish n german dishes when she had the time to cook. Dad was the main meal provider. So anything other than grilled meats dad wasn't much of a experimenter.

Do you have any of your Mom's Irish or German dishes to share with us?

It's awesome how we experience something that we like and then try to create it for ourselves. That sense of adventure and willingness to learn is so vital to becoming a cook.

My Dad was a baked potato guy. When we were kids and would travel I never understood why he always wanted to go to steak houses. We just thought Dad really liked steak. Then one day I asked him and he told me that he really wanted the baked potato. That cracked me up.

Thanks Corkey!

A great winter dish for a cold evening.

The fact that it came from your Mom makes it just that much more special.

Or a little cider vinegar and water to thin it a bit but not much, maybe a 2 Tablespoons of each to the 2 C of Sour Cream.

I really appreciate your posting the non-alcoholic recipe, Corkey. I never know what to do to compensate when a recipe calls for alcohol, so I usually just don't try it.
