Always loved to cook, but until my wife became ill, never really put much time into it. Now I'm on my own, and I try to cook as much as possible, but I eat a LOT of leftovers. Comfort foods.....pot roast, pot pies, scalloped potatoes....guy stuff....and bread. My mother was an awesome cook and baker, and I am always trying to make her traditional dishes as well as she made them. Bread was one of her specialties, and I love the whole process of bread baking. Someday, I hope to get close to baking bread like my Mom's. Perfect potato pancakes. One time, I was trying to roast a turkey in an oven bag using a roaster oven to free up my regular oven. The bird was stuffed and doctored up inside the bag, but when I tried to put it into the preheated roaster, the bag touched the sides and immediately melted, which caused some temporary anxiety, to say the least.
