My get-pushed-partner asked me to take a photograph that tells something about me that you don't know. I am pretty much of an open book around here...but one thing you don't know about me is that I can not bake. ALL the women in my family bake in the Italian tradition. Except for me. I can not bake.....Anything.I burn everything. I was responsible for 2 fire alarms at the college where I worked. An apple pie I tried turned out to be a burnt apple pancake.I can cook meals because I like to experiment. Baking on the other hand is very precise. I am not precise.Those Santa cookies I posted yesterday and these yummy Struffali were made by my young cousins who will carry on the Italian tradition.I am not even alowed in the kitchen when they bake!
:) I can let you in on a little secret, I am not that precise when I bake, it just takes a little practice. In the meantime at least you get to enjoy all the wonderful things your family make.
