About me
I learned to cook in self-defense from my mother's cooking, although I had two excellent alternatives in her mother and in my paternal great-grandmother. I worked on my recipe for perfect pie crust for 35 years. I reviewed restaurants for six years for our local newspaper, until the paper changed hands. I can taste something and almost always figure out what is in it and what procedures were used to prepare it. I don't like to use prepared ingredients, except canned broth and canned tomatoes, and I try to grow my own herbs. When we eat out, I like to eat things that I can't cook at home.

Thanks for the comments on my recipes. I'll have to try some of yours. Hopefully my husband will like them. :) Also, it's not too difficult for me to vegetarianize recipes that call for meat. (There's actually a LOT of vegetarian alternatives out there these days. :) )

Hi Pieplate, thanks for the kind review on the homemade spaetzle! So nice of you to stop by! Try the dough mixture I suggested next time, and your noodles shouldn't dissolve. I actually prefer using a spaetzle maker, because it is so much quicker and easier than a collander. Hope you have a great day!

Glad you made the scones, mixing too much makes them too smooth, I finally just barely mixed them and they turned out allot more crumbly... hugs
