I've lived in Michigan my entire life which means I want to retire to Florida, or at least some place warmer. I have a lovable old golden retriever and two perfect little kitties. Three years ago I found my perfect house. I have two grown sons and two of the most beautiful granddaughters ever. I feel very blessed! Pie. I love to bake pie. I make a killer crust with a secret ingredient passed down from a great aunt. Ever year at Christmas my family makes a wonderful spice cookie brought over from Germany by my great grandmother. It's not Christmas without them or my mother's black bottom pie (pie again!!!). They make the house smell wonderful and they are awesome with a cup of coffee. One year I made the most beautiful Easter dinner. The good china, crystal and sliverware came out. Candles were lit and there were fresh flowers on the table. It was magic. Probably the most perfect meal I've ever made. Shortly after my I was first married, I had invited some friends over for dinner. I made a recipe for pot roast out of a magazine I had that looked really good. I did the recipe exactly as it was written. When we were ready to sit down to dinner, I took it out of the oven and it was burnt to a crisp. My guests were great. They ate it anyway and told me it was really good.
