Know exactly what you mean regarding the Pillsbury Bake-Off, especially since it's that time again!! My husband and I now live in FL but are New England natives (Nantucket and Newton respectively). I attended school at a time when Home Ec was required - half a year of sewing (hated it!!!) followed by half a year of cooking (loved it!!!). Still have my recipe for Apple Crisp from 7th grade and make it to rave reviews each time. Grew up with my mother using Gold Medal flour (reminds me of talcum powder!) but at some point I discovered King Arthur and haven't looked back!! I make biscuits, cornbread, and piecrust from scratch - always have, always will. We return to New England each summer to visit children, grandchildren, and friends as well as our annual pilgrimage to King Arthur in Norwich. This year will be extra-special as my husband and I will be attending his 50th reunion at Fryeburg Academy! And last but not least, we live on our boat "Spindrift" in the St. Petersburg area............and the galley (kitchen) is equipped with an oven at my insistence - gotta be able to bake no matter what!!
Thanks for all the great products and recipes!!
