Everyone I know has that one thing they think they make better than anyone else. What is yours?

Now for me I only have one item I feel that way about. I love french bread and I really love making it myself. I like infusing the olive oil for the recipe with garlic and using it in the bread and I also add a roasted head of galic to my dough. I add wheat gluten and let my bread machine do all of the kneading for me. It is my favorite thing to eat toasted with tomatoes, basil and olive oil especially during the summer time. It makes wonderful croutons for soups and salads. I like my homemade french bread better than any I have ever tried any where.

Well if there is only ONE thing I can honestly say I make better than anyone else's anywhere I have ever tasted ~~~ >)))°> ~~~ I would have to say it is my dried beans! NO ONE and I mean NO ONE can make dry beans that taste anywhere near as delicious as mine! But hey I have been cooking and eating dry beans since I was a youngin':D

I let mine soak either the conventional overnight method or the quickie 1 hour method. Then I begin adding my seasoning and let them cook until tender and soooo tasty!

I have had people's eyes pop and jaws drop, give me a look of disbelief that I could cook anything so delicious tasting and then smile and start shoveling them in....when they first taste my beans and I mean that!

I also made a Lobster Thermador once that was just splendid and I doubt I will ever taste anything that darn wonderful ever again!

Well that's about all the bragging I can do on this subject;):D:eek:

And I almost forgot I make the best Tamales I have ever had!!!! Hee-hee I never had any as good as mine, and I'm not Mexican and I never had anyone show me how to make them I just looked on-line how to make them and VIOLA!!! They are so good I can't quit eating them:p Most of the ones I have ever had at restaurants were dry and mine are not. Even after I freeze and thaw them and microwave them they are still just so-o-o good!
