And my "Mr. Macho" father at 6' 1" who's done everything in residential 
construction, from drafting to running foundation crews to teaching con-
struction, makes pastries, wholegrain breads, and soups that my mother 
envies.  (Not to sell Mom short, though, her piecrusts are not only flaky 
and light, but they look just like those perfect pictures in the cookbooks!)  
My brothers are better cooks than my sisters, and they're a lot neater in 
the kitchen, too!  The key to being a good cook?  A love of good food, a 
willingness to experiment, and lots of experience!  (I wonder if it's all 
my failed experiments or the successes that are grafted around my middle? :-))
