Baked my first pie (with a LOT of supervision from Grandma) at age 5 and my first meal (beef stew) at 10, so I've been cooking and baking for a LONG time.
I'm married to slightly insane , but wonderful, guy and have 3 living children and 7 grandchildren. I lost my eldest daughter to complications from systemic lupus this past May.
Cooking, baking, (not necessarily in that order) crafting, learning more about the antique and collectibles trade, reading, writing.
