Born and raise in Long Beach, CA. Married a petroleum engineer and lived all our married life in Bakersfield, California Visted the North West where 2 of our kids lived. Loved it, moved up here, the kids have since been transferred...But we're staying on because we love it here. Not really into the cooking scene, but I'm always looking for easy and interesting receipes. My daughters and daughter in-laws have put me on to your website. Looks like I'll be trying some new things. Can't say we have any. There's a tendency not to want to repeat mistakes. Toffee. Not wanting to make a trip to the market, I made some substitutions on a toffee receipe out of a well known cook book. The toffee was a great hit, and I made over 100 batches for the Boy Scouts to sell as a money making project for their summer camp. I have been pleased that so many people enjoy it and ask for the receipe. Which I am pleased to give out. Just about everything I've ever tried. I'm really belong outside working in in the yard.
