Geoff, have you tried any baking? I do enjoy baking, but it often requires more patience than I have. Plus, I sometimes burn cookies.
If you like, I'll send you my penne vodka recipe. I got it from a cookbook called "Simply Delicious", which pretty much sums up the types of recipes the book has. The most complicated part of it is making a roux, but other than that, it's a snap. And everyone loves it.
I'll trade you some penne for some osso bucco!
