I have spent much of my life in a kitchen. It all started in my Grandmother's kitchen on the farm in MN. She was the most amazing cook and chef I've ever known! This is where I learned that a recipe is just a starting block and the rest is up to the person cooking. I am a seriously addicted knitter and have just added clay sculpting to the crafty mix. Desserts are a fun passion because the men in my house are all huge sweet tooth people! For myself I love going for the new and exotic recipes from around the world. My Grandmother in the kitchen baking bread every morning and being able to whip up something amazing for a meal with only going to a market once a week. Even if it's was 4 or 5 more people showing up she was never baffled at the stove! Making something that my family will eat that isn't a just plain meat and potatos. There are far to many for the 1000 character max!!!
