I took up cooking after becoming friends with a Culinary Artist. He taught me a love for cooking if not the skills needed, those I picked up on my own. I rarely follow the recipe to the letter and am constantly experimenting. Anything that I can share with appreciative diners. Fleisch Kuechle, Knoephla soup, charcoal grilling, bread, cookies. Green Pizza, Grilled Chicken, Knoephla Soup, and Roman Flatbread. When I was young and attempting my first batch of peanut butter bars, I misread the hand written recipe. One ingredient was written on two lines: 1-1/2 Cups Milk chocolate chips So I added 1-1/2 Cups of Milk, then some chocolate chips.
