I'm 75 years young, retired and love to cook, sew and crochet doll clothes, surf the net and visit with my internet friends; talk to my grandkids on a monthly basis. Six of grand kids live in Arkansas; 2 live in California and one is in Iraq. Four great-grand kids live in California and six live in Arkansas.
My favorite things to cook
COOKIES!!! and dinners for two.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My parents were from Poland. My children's father's parents had a mixture of Scottish, Irish, English and Potawatamie Indian. My son-in-laws family were from Georgia. My oldest son's wife's family were from Arkansas. My youngest son's wife family were a mixture of italian, Greek and French...so we all enjoyed a variety of foods which we prepare for family reunions, picnics and the holidays.
My cooking triumphs
At age 10, I finally made a pie crust that was light and flaky...not like the rubber ball I'd made before! So far all of the pie crusts have been great!
My cooking tragedies
Spinach souffle
