RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Cullman, AL and work? as a librarian. For fun I cook and bake. I don't have a favorite cookbook, because I am always adding to my collection of cookbooks. The ones that I use most often include The Mitford Cookbook and Louisiana Entertains. I have been slowly baking my way through two great cookbooks -- All Cakes Considered and Cakes From Scratch in Half the Time. I subscribe to way too many cooking magazines!
