I'm a baker. I can make things that require grilling and steaming and stir-frying enough to suit my dinner purposes. But if you're looking for my particular skill, it involves the inner sanctum of the oven.
I make a hell of a cheesecake. My best, I'd say, is my pumpkin cheesecake with caramel sauce. Some of you sampled it last Halloween. I can't make cheesecake, though, without feeding most of it to somebody else. Cheesecake in my fridge is not a good idea for already plentiful hips.
For cheese-free Tom, I have to bake things like oatmeal-raspberry cookie bars. Yum.
This Easter, I made kolache, which is a Czech fruit bun that's fairly involved. You have to make full-on bread dough, and then you have to tease it into squares, stuff it with fruit sauce (lemon is my fave, or apricot or raspberry. Plum is traditional) and bake. Aud and Tom liked them, I think... I was so proud!
I also make good pizza and vegan bruschetta. Which I should do sometime soon.
