Hobbies:
I love to entertain. The more people, the better. I love all animals, but especially cats. I enjoy really fancy dinner parties and new ideas for garnishing food.
My favorite things to cook
I enjoy all kinds of baking. I'm willing to try anything. I also prefer winter so I can make hearty soups and stews.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I come from a Polish family and my husband is from Germany. We tend to cook very "heavy". My husband and I cook together all the time and we make a great team in the kitchen.
My cooking triumphs
I managed to cook Thanksgiving dinner for 20 people in a small kitchenette. My M&M decorated Easter Bunny Cake was highly complimented, as was my "swimming pool" cake this past summer.
My cooking tragedies
When I was younger, I made lemonade for the family. It was so good that people wanted more. Unfortunately, I ran out of sugar on the first batch and figured, salt looks like sugar so I substitued that in the second batch. YIKES! It was awful!
