mother of 3, with7 grandchildren, husband deceased. retired R.N, had my own catering and floral business which I had to give up due to illnes. I'm just learning to use the computer & internet. This part is fun.
My favorite things to cook
Breads, rolls, cookies, main meals. I really loved to cook when my childdren & grandchildren were with me and when I was catering. Now I'm ill, all alone, no one ever comes I don't co much except for special occasions. I miss "fancy cooking", but there's no one to eat it. So I don't.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Eclairs are always in demand for parties. Carrot pudding with Vanilla sauce at Christmas.
My cooking triumphs
Fabulous wedding cakes. I've mad hundreds. My childrens were spectacular. My daughters hadd 9 seperate cakes, each a different flavor,that was served as part of the refreshments. I had fun making lovely wedding, birthday, shower, and various cakes.
My cooking tragedies
Somehow the top layer of a wedding cake slid off the plate and down on the table. It was a very warm day. I Was able to repair the rest of the cake & most people couldn't tell it was a tier short.
