Iam a Grandmother who loves to cook,can,and bake Baking Making Irish soda bread, tea and baking pound cake at Christmas for over 40 years. Iam completely self taught...I started cooking for myself very young as my Mom was a working Mom. I think one of the funniest and messiest things was when I took a pumpkin pie out of the top oven and it slid out of my grip up in the air down onto the floor and smashed all over the place...It was in a glass pie plate...what a mess! Good thing I made 2.
