<p>I am a great grandmother, love to cook and bake, and love cooking with wine. I like to try new recipes, and enjoy sharing the kitchen with my husband, who has been cooking about 2 years.I love bread making, and have a?43 year old sourdough starter.I used to be an stna in home health care til I fell. My pet peeve is stupid commercials which assume all us public people are also stupid, and I especially don't like that gyco(may be spelled wrong) lizard. I'd love to step on him.</p>
