My Mom was & is the Queen of the kitchen. She always made everything from scratch and we always had baked desserts. She can still make the best pies in the world. She really loves to be in the kitchen and is in there everyday cooking up a storm for her & Dad. I did not inherit that passion for cooking or baking. I do it, but I had much rather be doing other things. And my pies are not fit to eat. Cakes, breads I can do.
