Confession: I don't bake

[MissMillie]

And I probably never will.

I guess for me it's a matter of priorities. I used to work at a job where I had to pay attention to details. Of course I got paid to do that job.

I don't feel the need to pay attention to how much flour, how much yeast, how much baking powder... etc. No one will pay me for that.

Besides all that, I don't eat very many baked goods--or sweet things, for that matter.

I have been known to make a fruit pie or two, but I don't make the pie dough. Store-bought pie dough w/ some fruit, sugar, cinnamon, corn starch, with a little butter and a little citrus juice and zest.

I have a killer recipe for peanut butter fudge (it was my grandmother's), but the oven is not involved.

1. i dont either. In fact i was trying to turn off the oven light and I had to call hubby...(who bakes)

...I didnt know where the button was.

5. Oh, I know where the light is.

I keep an eye on the main courses I put in the oven.

I guess what I meant was I don't make homemade cakes or brownies, or cookies... things like that.

I put roasts in the oven: roast chicken, roast pork, pot roast, etc. When I make those things I don't measure anything.

2. I'm more inclined to bake during colder weather, if only just to heat the kitchen.

3. Honestly, MissMillie

I don't think any less of you! I've read enough of your posts to know you're a good person and good Democrat! That's all that counts with me!

6. I'm also a good cook!

I just usually leave dessert to Ben & Jerry.

4. You don't measure ingredients and I don't measure peoples baking skills. All good

Let's all go canvas somewhere.

7. My response is to think,

"Oh, you poor thing!" But that's me jumping to an unwarranted conclusion because I do like to bake and I very much enjoy the things I make.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest your life is not in any way diminished by your not baking.

8. Yes, I agree

I love to cook and bake, but some of my best friends don't cook at all. Different is what makes the world go 'round.

9. I love to cook, but don't bake

My mother was a great baker. I just like to cook and never use recipes.


Peace

10. I rarely do

To tedious and not in my wheel house. I do respect a baker, however.
