- I am a wife and mother who enjoys the many aspects of homemaking. My many interests and hobbies keep me active and reflect that I feel my family and home are my highest priorities. While I strive to create the best home atmosphere with the best food possible for my family, there is more to me than that. As you read through any of my blogs you will discover things about me, so read on. My husband thinks I'm a very complex person, always being too analytical. I think I'm just "me", someone who sometimes doesn't fit the mold others have made and having a blast through life.

Now I've found a use for the potato flakes my son left behind when he changed appartments!
Thank you, GG! :-)
I usually add cornflour to thicken soups and sauces. To avoid lumps, place a ladle or two of the hot soup or sauce in a separate bowl and mix with the cornflour. Once everything forms a very thin paste, pour it into the soup. You won't have any lumps!
