About me
O.K. So I spend most of my free time on politics. Researching to stay one step ahead of the Illuminati. Hence my recent re-discovery of all things related to food. Growing it, canning it, seasoning it, storing it, keeping it safe,etc. My dad was in the restaurant business (no he didn't own one), so everything I learned about cooking, I learned from him. Mom could make mishmash and anything you could fry. After that, forget it. Some days, when I'm trying to be particularly creative and need a little advice, I always think, " Dad would know," then I remember he's gone. My grandma was the baker, and from her I learned a few baking secrets although I'm not much of a sweets person, I do have a killer Austrian Gugelhupf recipe, belonging to my great grandmother . Its a decadently rich simple bundt pound cake. It's one of my few sweet indulgences and everyone clamors for it during the holidays.
