I work near the Burmese border with street kids from Burma and Thailand. Baking gives me a chance to relax and process some of the things I have to deal with on a regular basis. I love cakes and cookies best! Always exciting to try new ones. Baking ribs for Christmas with a special cabbage/banana salad my mother used to make People love my chili recipe (I have modified my father's WWII chili recipe. He was a cook in the army. People also love my pork roast & saur kraut meal. I'm also known for my great cookies! Don't ask me to bake a flaky crust for a pie..... NOT. Never!
