I've taken a couple of classes on Cast Iron Cooking, and want to explore this method more. Interested in learning to cook more with spices. Crock potting. Breads. Pies. *Making eight cheesecakes for friend's son's wedding rehearsal dinner. A childhood favorite of the groom's; what fun to be able to provide them at his request for his wedding! *After grandma moved into assisted living apartments, she asked if I'd bake a frozen pie when it was her turn to hostess friends for cards. I was 15, but my grandma was not going to have frozen pie! I learned to and loved cooking pies for her. I still love baking pies. Being volunteered to make buns for nephews wedding; I wanted them same day fresh, and they didn't rise. Good flavor, but dense. Thank heavens for grocery store bakeries!
