I bake, I love when my house smells like home made bread and then to eat it fresh out of the oven with a bit of butter. Oh my. My new passion is I have been researching sour dough because I love it as does my stepson and to be able to make it at home would be awesome. I also love making baked goods, I can my produce from my garden, I cook anything and everything I can get my hands on a recipe for, and have also taken to making home made dog treats. I spend my time outside on BYC or pinterest. LOL.

I would love to swap recipes or have others willing to offer advice, great idea you have here.

I have said this on several occasions.
Cooking skills are passed down from generation to generation. The last generations flood the lobby's and Foyer's in local Restaurants, waiting for a table to become available.
Prior generations parents taught basic LIFE SKILLS such as cooking/baking/sewing. My mom cooked with me, her mom cooked with her, my Grandmother's mom cooked with her..............
Most of our friends teach their kids how to use a debit card at a restaurant now.
My close friend is one of these. I love her to death. She can't cook at all, or claims she has no time to. But she has plenty of time for facebook, netflix and being a text-a-holic. She is just spoiled by not having the burden of having to cook to survive. Her hubby makes an awesome salary. Eat out or take out, every night.
When Hurricane Irma whacked us, our town was shut down for a couple days. My friend had a panic attack because they couldn't go out to a restaurant for basic meals. My Hubby BBQ-ed them burgers and such for a couple days because we felt sorry for their 3 kids.
If you have an hour to kill waiting in the front lobby of olive garden waiting to be sat, that is plenty of time that could have been spent making supper for your family, proudly..
Buy a BBQ Grille for heaven's sake..

We rarely ate out when I was a kid, and now Hubs & I very seldom eat out, either. It's much cheaper eating at home, and you also know that your food is being stored properly and not being handled by someone who is sick or hasn't properly washed their hands, etc.
Ever watch "Kitchen Nightmares"? The horrible condition of some of those restaurant kitchens is enough to make you want to eat at home every day!

Interesting! We used to sell French presses at our store in south FL and still have a couple of them sitting around. That cold brewed coffee might be enough for me to dig a press out again.
