Hello! I'm back! Sorry I havent blogged lately. I am still trying new things, when I can find the time. A few months ago I blogged about making jelly. My mom, Retha, was with me that day and suggested that I learn how to make bread from scratch. And she offered to show me how. During Christmas break the kids wanted to spend time with my mom so we decided that would be a good time to bake bread. When I got to my mom's house in Newman she had everything spread out and arranged on the table. I felt like I had just walked on to the set of a cooking show where everything is prepped before the show starts. My mom is a really good cook and enjoys it. I think cooking is in our blood. My grandma, Anne was a cook at Latif's restaurant in Turlock for years. Pies were here specialty. Eventually my grandpa, John and her started there own restaraunt in Newman called the Country Cafe. They operated that business for about a decade. Most of my family worked there at one time or another....
Reaching out to continually improve and stretch my knowledge.
