As an "Old Geezer" that retired over two years ago, I have been cooking for the family ( my wife and youngest son who refuses to move :) ) since the wife went back to work.
I really enjoy this cooking dinners and lotza cakes and pies too! ;)
A friend of mine is a noted outdoor food supplier ( Adventure Foods) and has helped me become a struggling cook with a need for HELP! at times... he he he
I have started a cook book collection and now am looking at getting a Kitchenaid stand mixer!
This will open many more doors as I want to venture into breads and other delights.
I say I am retired but teaching a Sunday School classes, a Monday night training class, and other activities, I also love wooden boat building. But the weather has kept me from building and becoming "in-bound" I have taken up cooking and baking.
I signed onto KRAFT.com but I really like the personal recipes from people who make from scratch and report on them.
Viva La Taste Budz!
