| Introduction | This blog was created to talk about creating and enjoying food. My journey with food began when I lost my job at 29, and just didn't think it was fair my husband was the only one working, and then had to come home and make dinner. I taught myself by watching cooking shows. Nigella Lawson's casual approach removed the anxiety I felt in the kitchen and freed me to explore, make mistakes, and see cooking as play. My mom spent a lot of time teaching how to bake, but I have progressed from Pillsbury's Best Cookbook recipes to complicated pastries, breads and pies. The best compliment I have received was when my mom said my scones were better than my Scottish grannys. I love how happy people get when they taste their first toll-house cookie, first fresh ravioli, or first aspic. Okay, the aspic is a tougher sell. |

In the dream where you show up to school naked, why do you never go swimming?
This is the 8th random question I have pulled...all the others were just too stupid to consider. Who writes these things, and why do you assume that I never swim nude in my dreams?
