I collect recipes and cookbooks. I love to read especially medical mysteries, 19th century women's biographies I love animals I collect antique books, and marbles. Lemon chicken Flavorful meatloaf Bread Going out to eat on major holidays I make a great roux. Great snickerdoodle cookies Great macaroni and cheese from scratch Banana bread that was still uncooked in the middle. Used a glass dutch oven for beef and noodles that had a strong scorched flavor, and carrots that were not cooked enough-at a meal for international students!! Burnt cookies
