I'm Mama to six girls and one boy, all of whom love to eat! We homeschool so they have lots opportunities to learn to cook. I like to sew, draw, sing hymns and organize things. Bread tops the list! We have baked all our own bread for years and my 13 and ten year olds can do it all by themselves now. Preparing for the holidays with my mom was always a treat and shaped my ideas of kitchen arts: food is love and love tastes great! I make meals for ladies from church after they've had babies and one mama told me "your cooking is enough to make me get pregnant just for a meal!" (She is expecting her eighth child now. How much longer can this go on?) I keep salt and sugar in identical cannisters in my cupboard (anyone remember SNL's "Bad Idea Jeans" ads?). My tragedies all involve mistaking one for the other.
