My Mother was a great cook and so I learned from her. I love cooking for people and formyself also. If i am hungry for something special i will make it and hopefully enjoy it. My favorite cooking in the kitchen is baking. I love to bake different kinds of breads any yeast dough. My families favorite is Pork and dumplings and apple pie. My only contest was a state fair and I won 2nd place in the pie contest. Apple Pie of course The day the wind blew the paper towels onto the stove and caught onfire while i was upstairs watching lance armstrong and the tour de france. I am also a cyclist.
