My Mom and Grandmother always baked but my mother in law taught me to make pies and bread. She always used King Arthur Flour. With 9 kids in the family she would make 2-4 loaves of bread at a time. She bought flour in the 50 lb sack. That was in 1959. It never looked like a chore to me, she seemed to make it pretty ordinary and was part of her daily routine. (All of my friends Mom's baked when I was growing up.) She was 90 something when she passed away. Thanks Mom, I still miss you.
