I am learning to eat and cook for my family while adjusting to my weird, special diet requirements. I love cooking and baking. My newest hobby is making cup cakes, not just plain ol' cup cakes, but beautiful cuppies! Things that should be in display. I do other things than chain myself to the stove, I am actually going to school for construction management and a teaching degree, and I am an aspiring ceramic artist. Dinner for my family, nothing is more satisfying when they ask is there any left, or can you do that one again. We do lots of red meats, as a part of my weird diet requirements. But no one seems to mind. I'm quickly learning to love to make bread with spelt and not regular flour. My father is German so a lot of northern German specialties and secret family recipes that only my dog knows :) and my mom really just has random recipes that keep getting passed down from the ladies in the family. Once a month we make what my father's mother made for Sunday breakfast, Keiserschmairn. (I'm 99% sure that is the spelling) Which is pancake batter and dried fruit pan-fried and served with applesauce, simple and good. I made my first set of cuppies, they were yummy, I'm no longer afraid to do that again. And we have a vegggie garden now so everything I make has veggies in it, even if you don't think that cookies should have a veggie in 'em. I have too many to list ask me some time about RICE BREAD!!! And a recent funny disaster. I over cooked some chocolate cupcakes and took them to work without trying them. Well one of the guys asked for one I told him which tray to take one from well he didn't listen. He took the cake to the truck and proceeded to eat it, it broke one of his crowns. He didn't swallow it until later in the day when he put it back in and ate lunch. Funniest story on this job-site yet.
