I'm a knitter who has very little time to knit and gourmet chef who can't afford the gourmet! I love to bake--scones, tea bread, muffins and cookies. And if I had more time (and my kids would eat it) I'd serve my family Indian meals at least 3x a week! My mom taught me how to make Toffee Bars when I was about 10 years old--and that was just the beginning. They laughed when I brought stuffing to a 4th of July potluck/picnic, but guess who's pot was empty! I have the bad habit of trying new recipes when we're having guests over for dinner.
