My extended family included a whole group of bakery owners - my maternal great-grandfather and each of his 4 sons each owned their own corner bakery from the early 1900s through the 1960s. That was a tasty time according to my mother, but it resulted in the fact that NONE of the women in my family learned how to bake! Until I started reading this blog, I had more brick-like bread and crunchy chocolate chip cookies than I care to count. So, more pictures is always better for an old newbie like me! And I'm proof that you CAN teach an old (baker) new tricks...
