RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I am living happily as a housewife in the English countryside (having grown up in rural Pennsylvania). This leaves me time to explore new recipes. I enjoy cooking and eating.<br /> <br />I love to bake, and my family likes treats, so we have cookies, muffins, and new-to-me English desserts sometimes, and I'm baking bread again.<br /> <br />My life also allows time for my other passions, reading and gardening. <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></p>
