I have been cooking since I was seven years old. I love to cook. My specialty is "stuff;" that's what my husband and son started calling meals that I didn't have names for. Because of a very wanting budget, this is what we ate many times. It was good practice for the catering business that I later started. I guess I'd have to say desserts. I became a cake artist, and many people love my cakes. Some recipes I have made up myself--such as one called Oklahoma Golden Nugget. A sit-down affair for the Tulsa Police Department. There were three hundred people that the room had to be setup for, cooked for, served, etc. Rave reviews. The same police function. I hired about thirty people to prepare and serve. Some--only some--were experienced people from Tulsa University--including their boss that pitched in as well. The boss wore a shirt with the TU logo on it, so the police representative that hired me thought that all I had done was cook, and that "TU" had done everything else. He would not listen when I tried to explain. I never got called by them again. I'm sure TU did. Sometimes 'friends' can be treacherous. Oh, well...lesson learned.
