aren't you the COOKER, jack!! ; )
I've always liked playing in the kitchen, xsmommy. It helps me unwind. Relaxes me.
Cooking. Some baking. Haven't a tried a turkey or pies yet.
Don't own a Bread Machine. Still do bread dough in a huge aluminum bowl. Let it rise by the heat. Beat it down. Knead it. Let it rise again. Bake it.
