I work for a construction company by day. I am married with one daughter who just graduated college. I have two cats and two dogs that are very spoiled. I exercise a lot to work off all that I cook. I have a super sweet tooth, so I am partial to baked goods. Just recently I started experimenting with breads and pastry doughs. My favorite tradition is making my families birthday cakes. A three tier birthday cake for my daughter's eighteenth birtday. I made a banana cake but my bananas were still a little green. I knew they tasted too green before I made the cake but they were all that was available at my grocery store. I was hoping that once I added the sugar and other ingredients that it would disguise the "green banana" flavor. They did not disguise the flavor at all, in fact, baking the bananas accentuated the flavor. It was the worst tasting cake ever, no one could eat it. Lesson learned, if one ingredient is not right, leave it out or make something else, it will ruin the whole dish.
