Oh, this is why I can't bake. I love to bake, and am quite good at it, but I
don't do it often because my husband will eat baked goods in two days,
smile. Fortunately, I don't have a huge sweet tooth. As a child I did, but
as an adult, I take after my grandpa and just don't like sweets as much. I
also like to cook and bake because I tend to not want to eat after I do so.
Not sure, always been like this, but works in my favor, grin.

PS. For some reason, during my lady time of the month, I crave cheeseburgers
and Cheetos, of all things, grin. The cheeseburgers are easy to make
healthy; Cheetos, not so much, grin.

things in the house.  But when it does ...
