Cooking and baking. I love to cook and see people enjoy their food. I still bake the chocolate chip cookies and brownies we sold at our hot dog stand . We were written up by the Chicago Sun- Times way back when we owned our hot dog stand. I think they taste as good as ever
Chocolate candy especially from the Fudge Pot in Old Town, and of course all kinds of licorice
Ice cream - especially gelato.
Animals but especially dogs. We are very active in a number of shelters. They do such good work and care so much about the animals.
