I love to ski,snow mobile,fish,kyak,and go bowling. Love the snow as much as the sand and beach! Baking is more of my forte,then cooking. Love to find an unusual recipe that matches well with the people I am baking/cooking for. Sometimes I think that is half the battle of being a sucess at entertaining and cooking.The other half is trying not to burn the cr*p out of something you are making !! Only kidding!! LOL .. Presentation and food that tastes good is the other half. I work full time with my husband at our plumbing and heating company (so 40 hrs turns to 50 turns to 55+a week!!) So that leaves very little time for cooking. I try to prepare and cook in advance alot, with menus and shopping lists that I do in advance. I also rely on home deliveries from my local supermarket. (it's worth the six bucks delivery charge!!) Some hot dog casserole dish I made as a newlywed 23 years ago!! We still laugh about it!!
