Hi, I am a better cook than I use to be, because I started to look for things to cook that were softer. It gives more variety also. My husband is in trouble because he has gained quite a few pounds and vanity is working on him. This also kept me busy, so it is a good way to forget your troubles.I garden , vegtables and flowers.That is fun, rewarding and good exercise.Whats cooking, Apple pie, maybe Apple Dumplings, and Zuccini Bread.You can see I live in the North East and its Harvest time!
