PJ, it is your being "not much of a cook" and lack of culinary school training that gives many of us permission to have a go at baking. You write so beautifully about the joys (and trials) of baking, and give us all great recipes and tips. I'll never be able to make an artistic cookie, cake or pie and wouldn't attempt it, but I love your practical and forgiving approach. My family has learned that if PJ says it will be good, it will. Thank you. Mary
