Not really much on baking but love to make recipes which are usually kept in my head so no two dishes of the same recipe come out the same. There aren't enough boxes to check for everything that I like to do: Research and prepare good food, Read books and magazines, crochet, pets, collect dragons, fishing, play video games, church activities, web surfing with forum and web group participation and sometimes I sleep. (HA) I usually start everything with garlic, onions and mushrooms and go from there: along with pasta or rice: froglegs, all seafood, chicken and other poultry, sometimes lamb....rarely make beef and pork but enjoy them occasionally. I guess pasta and one of the seafoods are my favorite. I do enjoy putting together one-dish slow cooker meals. Rare
