retired living in senior housing; gay; Pennsylvania Dutch and Scots; looking for healthy ways to cook vegetables; chicken; pork my Pennsylvania Dutch heritage provides hearty meals (not necessarily the healthiest, but habits are hard to break); make Jambalaya (Jeff Smith's recipe) each year for Mardi Gras; new tradition: Mark Bittman, the Minimalist Jambalaya; Triple Chocolate Cheesecake; turkey barbecue many years ago made bread; while it was rising, I went to do a load of laundry in apartment complex and ran into a friend and spent four hours talking; when I got home, the smell of yeast permeated my apartment as soon as I opened the door; I ran to the kitchen and my bread had "risen" all over the countertops and onto the floor. I never did that again.
