No, the dangers being female made me far too nervous to do that.

I do remember seeing around one handful of hitchhikers during my childhood, but we never picked them up. I can hear my mothers tongue click when I asked why we didn’t help them.

When I have energy I sometimes make ravioli or lasagna and freeze it! But it requires energy and freezer space.

This is why I can! I don’t have enough freezer space!

Baking can be deviated, but only specific ways! Flavorings can be changed (orange extract instead of lemon) but you can’t change amounts of butter. Not without having a deep magical knowledge that I don’t have lol

My father was, shortly, a short order cook. So we learned some from him. Mother was also an adequate home cook despite her thinking she wasn’t. So we learned cooking from them.

I learned baking from teaching myself by “following recipes exactly and precisely” which usually worked. Having to follow the rules really helped for baking.

I still don’t know why mothers friends didn’t understand what preheating the oven meant!!! Don’t throw removed in there while it’s preheating at least not cookies!!!
