I have been interested in cooking since I was very young. Not really a baker, I loved to cook food. Now though I am interested in more baking of desserts. I can make a really good cheesecake, a chocolate custard pie from scratch. [The crust is dark chocolate]. And a very good apple pie {more on that later! anything that my husband and family loves to eat! I just love the looks on their faces and the yum sounds! Clambakes,Mom's cherry-go-rounds, great tomato sauce, my aunts meatballs, and BBQs with friends and family that went on for days. It took me 8 years to make an apple pie that I was satisfied with. The best thing ever invented was the food processor! My husband just adores apple pie with an all butter crust so cutting in all that near frozen butter was a challenge. To my husbands credit he ate every single pie I made and said it was wonderful, thanking me for the effort. I just love him! 1. a gourmet calves liver recipe from the Galloping Gourmet. Even the cat threw up! 2.many pounds of tender pork chops I managed to overcook right into nails. 3. While draining 2 lbs of cooked linguine I missed the pot and the kitchen floor was covered in linguine. I was covered in tears. LOL
