have been married to my 1st love since 1991. No human children, but have 2 furry and 1 feathered children. Enjoy cooking for hubby, he is terribly spoiled. Don't mind the actual cooking, just get tired of deciding WHAT to cook. Update--November 08==we are down to 1 furry child now, sadly, our first two babies have gone on to that great dog house in the sky. Our new puppy is helping us through this time though. pasta; baked goods; I learned to cook from both my mother and my father, as well as both grandmothers and various aunts. All of us cook the same way, just add in what we think ought to go in, "until it looks right". Too bad you can't do that with baking, lol. most cakes that I bake. My cakes are almost always ugly. They usually taste ok, but look really really bad.
