I love cooking multi-course meals, though still struggle with getting everything done at the same time. I love to cook dinner for the family and we're always trying new dishes. We have International night about twice a month, and that is always fun. I made a cake from scratch when I was young. I'm not sure what happened but it had the consistancy of sourdough bread. I decided frosting with t a beit of peppermint extract would be good...it tasted like toothpaste. My sourdough-toothpaste cake is still brought up at family parties.
