I am fifty-something mother of 2 grown children and 1 teenager. Been married over 26 years. Still work full-time so not as much time for cooking as I would like, but sometimes will devote a whole weekend to it. After years of hearing how good my mother-in-law's pies were, I finally went to the library and took out every book I could find on pie making. I kept making pies until I hit the button. I never hear about anyone else's pies anymore! Too numerous to mention. Before I got married, my husband asked me if I could cook. Never cooked before, but said I could. You should ask him about the tragedy of this statement. He has lots of stories.
