Any Home Bakers Here?

I had that problem with my mother-in-law. i would be in the kitchen any time I was there and she was cooking. That is how I got my husbands favorite recipes.

Give it a try when she makes the Scalloped Potatoes. After writing everything down find a quiet place and make some kind of order out of your notes. You may have to watch her again to completely round out the recipe.

We never could get my dads recipe for dressing and all 6 of us tried. There’s at least 6 varieties floating around here. Little of this little of that and poof he’d have it made.

It’s a wise idea to give it a test run first. Especially dessert.

Caphalon or ceramic on cast iron only two types of pans I own

I own Saladmaster- surgical steel cookware that I have had since 1976 and looks like new. Also cast iron skillet, griddle and baking pan with handles. I don't like aluminum either.

Lordy that looks good. Just finished eating the last of the Christmas banana bread- had it in the freezer for later in the year, but could not leave it alone. Now I need to make more.

You can get her recipe by standing right there as she makes it and writing down each step and the measurements.

Scalloped Potatoes

I did that with my grandmother. She was the best cook in the county- people paid her to make their Thanksgiving pies cakes and dressing. I watched, documented and attempted to make. Mine is pretty good, but not the same as hers. I think no one can imitate the magic of a great cook.

Our section out by Jeffrey City, WY would run during the night.

LOL. On one side of the family, when we get together we talk politics, current events. On the other side we talk chickens and gardens. Guess which get together I look forward to most.
