I travel with my husband, son and Weimaraner for hubbys work. We have a great time seeing a lot of different places and meeting new people. I like cooking meals but my true passion is in baking. I love to make anything that is a challenge. There are a few things my grandmother made that are a very special memory for me, like her giant gingerbread cookies she would make every Christmas for her family and friends. She made good chicken and dumplings and her cherry cheese cake was to die for. My mom on the other hand? lol well lets just say you had a hard time eating most things as they were hard and burned. I make my own traditions for the most part. I make a baked salmon that literally melts in your mouth. My whole family is crazy about it, even the not so big fish fans. I make really good chicken cordon bleu also. Give me a recipe and I can master is and even improve! When I was still living at home I made a box cake and misread the amount of water that it took. It came out a soupy mess and I just couldn't understand it until I re-read the ingredients. Oops, but that was more than 12 years ago and I really haven't had another flop since. Luck? Maybe, but I just think cooking and baking is the one thing I am good at.
