MANOMES

I work long hours in the aerospace industry, so I look for relatively easy recipes most of the time -- although I like to go "all out" when I have time. I love to make breads when I have free time on weekends, and since I don't have a stand mixer, I have to do it the old-fashioned way (no interest in the bread machine method). Sharing food is the best part of cooking, so I tend to make lots of extra when we have get-togethers so people can take home the leftovers.
