Cooking

Shirley Woods serves up her stuffed pork loin with chutney. Sauerkraut in chocolate cake adds moistness, not bitterness, to this German recipe. Larry Woods is spoiled and he's not ashamed to admit it. His wife, Shirley, learned how to cook just for him after they married 43 years ago today. She was a quick study. Even to bake a cake, she doesn't follow the instructions.

In fact, she breaks some rules and gets away with it. Shirley says she hates to mess up more than one bowl when baking, so she never follows recipe directions to mix wet ingredients separately from dry, and then combine them. She just throws everything together.

The proof it all works out is clear in the divine chocolate sauerkraut cake she served dinner guests recently. It's an old German recipe, and Larry's right when he assures us ahead of time we won't taste the sauerkraut. It just threads itself throughout the cake, adding texture and moistness but no bitterness.

Since she's not a recipe slave, Shirley found it hard to write out recipes for this column. She made the dishes several times to work it all out. Larry is the one who peruses the dozens of cookbooks on their shelves. He finds dishes that intrigue him, often ethnic ones, and asks Shirley to make them. She'll add her own twist. Shirley once owned her own business sewing dresses and skating costumes. She now operates a bed and breakfast, Tranquility Base, out of their home.
