Today I baked an apple pie. The apple compote I made the other day is about to expire, so I started making the dough yesterday. Cooking is fun. If you can make it yourself, it’s tasty, cheap, and fast… but for those who can’t cook, it’s difficult and a lot of work. I’m glad I …
Last night was our monthly Men’s Cooking. Three women and four men joined us for an homey gathering.
