I have never felt old, \u00a0and I don&#8217;t want to start now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">If you need a place\u00a0that will\u00a0make\u00a0<em>YOU<\/em> feel normal&#8230;.. this is it. \u00a0There are times that even I shake my head and wonder what I was thinking.\u00a0 ( smile )<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I don&#8217;t have a $8,000.00 camera to post photos, so please don&#8217;t expect miracles.\u00a0Most of the time I will have to explain what is in the photos. The food may not look edible, but it is. I rarely post a &#8220;flop recipe&#8221;, but I will post when &#8221; I &#8221; make a mistake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I\u00a0don&#8217;t\u00a0have a &#8220;rags to riches&#8221; story by winning the lottery,\u00a0I&#8217;m still in rags, and NOT rich.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I\u00a0don&#8217;t have stories about my lavish\u00a0travels and the details of the places that I have gone. I don&#8217;t think anyone would be interested in my travels&#8230;&#8230;.\u00a0because most people have &#8220;kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms and garages&#8221;.\u00a0 Why waste the time bragging. ( wink )<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I don&#8217;t pretend to be someone I&#8217;m not&#8230;\u00a0\u00a0I<em>&#8216;m just me !!!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Please DO NOT take me too seriously, I am NOT a gourmet cook,\u00a0 I haven&#8217;t gone to\u00a0 culinary school so I can learn to cook, and I&#8217;m not anyone famous. This blog is a place to put all the tens of thousands of recipes that I have collected since 1969( or before). From magazines, newspapers, cookbooks, family members and neighbors. I will do my best to get them all in writing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I was taught to cook at the age of about 5 standing on a chair next to my Mother and Grandmother.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">My moods will change from day to day, so you have been warned ( laugh).\u00a0 I can be in the best of moods one morning, and all of a sudden &#8220;Life&#8221; happens and it is down hill from there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">One thing I AM, I am a true friend., I will never try to be something or someone that\u00a0I&#8217;m not.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">On this blog, there will be recipes, daily mishaps, talking about family and friends, weight-loss, weight gain,\u00a0and other everyday happenings. My grammar is bad, my spelling will make you scratch your head&#8230;. But I&#8217;m Fun and honest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I have been collecting recipes since 1997 on the Internet&#8230;.. But since 1969 or so in real life&#8230;&#8230;.\u00a0I \u00a0have family recipes dating back to 1927 from my family and friends family.\u00a0 I have made thousands of them and will post as many as possible. I make my own adjustments so I never make something the same way twice. ( unless it was perfect and could not be improved )\u00a0 *I&#8217;m laughing here*<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Please come back and visit me, you never know what I&#8217;m blogging about. Even if you don&#8217;t come back, I still thank you for reading today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I will tell you more about myself\u00a0when I finish playing with all these\u00a0COOL buttons. If I don&#8217;t return right away..\u00a0it is because I pushed the buttons that\u00a0they told me NOT to. ( I&#8217;m such a rebel)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">I have recipes that I have been cooking for now over 50 years. I have recipes dated back to 1927, \u00a0I also have thousands saved and copied\u00a0 to the computer since 1995. Have patience with me, I&#8217;m still learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">All Recipes WILL be posted in recipe form when I catch up ( I have to get a lot of them from my head to paper. Not all are written).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-size: 16px;\"><em>I will NOT post photos without asking permission first, And YOU SHOULDN&#8217;T EITHER.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">DO NOT CHANGE ONE SINGLE THING IN MY RECIPES AND THEN GIVE THEM A TERRIBLE RATING.
