Finding Yourself
and Your Tastebuds
In conclusion, college is a
great time that gives people an opportunity to experience many things they never
would have before. Food is
no exception. This is the time
that you have so many different types of restaurants in a
close distance, but it is also
a time which the tastes are
maturing. So use this time to
your advantage. Go out and
find yourself, but always keep
in mind your budget, your
tastes and most importantly,
your health.

Photo Essay by: Morgan Thias
The Baker family has been around for many years and their Norwegian background has been a huge influencer in their cooking traditions.
Many recipes have been passed down generation to generation including favorites like lefsa, sugar cookies, soup and potato salad. In 1985, Skip and
Bev Baker opened the first restaurant and campground of the family in Clermont, Iowa. Soon after, in 1990, Cindi (Baker) Thias opened a restaurant,
which is now known for its famous Gunderburger. Cindi now owns a catering business as well. Cooking for the holidays has always been a tradition
for the Baker family. Baking is something everyone in the family enjoys and is good at.
TOP LEFT: Several years ago, Cindi (Baker) Thias and sister, Vicki
(Baker) Wallander prepare their meals to eat with their family.
TOP CENTER: This photo is from many years ago, where great
grandma, her sister, and great great grandma pose for the camera. All
three ladies were excellent cooks and began the cooking tradition in
the Baker family.
TOP RIGHT: Diane Baker rolls out cookies for the familiy. This photo
is from many years ago after she just joined the Baker family.
BOTTOM LEFT: Ashley Baker and J.R. Baker help their parents and
cousins decorate the cookies. Cooking has always been a bonding
time for the family.
MIDDLE LEFT: These two photographs are depicting the process Cindi is taking while
baking the cheesebake. First she mixes the ingredients with the mixer then pours each
layer into a pan.
RIGHT COLUMN: A watch pot never boils, so these three photos show the women patiently waiting for the meal to cook. The broccoli slowly bowls then Bev Baker carefully
drains the pot.
ABOVE: The bottom center photo is the finished product of the broccoli cheese soup. The meal was delicious when it was completed.
It is clear that the family has been cooking for a very long time and knew what they were doing.
