Ok, ok, Do you use butter or margerine

keepinghome @keepinghome (270) • United States 24 Jan 07

Do you use the traditional real butter, or the other stuff? I want to know. I was reading that butter is better. What do you think? Butter has lecithin, AA, omega-6, and omega-3 essential fatty acids, and well, it's real...

Your Cooking Skills

blogyourself @blogyourself (1577) • United States 24 Jan 07

People often ask if I am a good cook or if someone else is. I think that is a really hard question to answer unless someone is a professional chef. I mean, I haver certain things that I can cook really well. There are other...

Erika79 IMO, that doesn't make you a bad cook! I think even profession chefs probably have areas where they arent AS good in. I believe I'm a good cook ... but Im not really a good baker, either.

Erika79 Depends on how old the baby is, but even then it can totally depend on the baby... some need more sleep, some need less. My daughter is 10 months old and still takes 3 naps (sometimes 2, but then she's a bit cranky and overtired). They can vary from 30...
