I have been married all my life, or so it seems. I have three grown children, 2 boys and 1 girl and they all now live in different states. I keep busy working so I can afford to see everyone as often as possible. :-) I miss having everyone nearby but they have to live their lives. I have so many recipe books I can't keep up with them. I love to read and re-read them whether I cook from them or not. Desserts! I love cabbage recipes and make a fabulous Potato Soup! I will try most things, but since I work outside my home, I usually stick to fairly quick and easy meals now. I love to cook for the family when they are here. I love cooking holiday meals. Thanksgiving is the best! Our Superbowl Sunday treat is that we eat in the living room in front of the TV. Otherwise, all meals are at the dining room table, together. We have special meals for each holiday and everyone knows what to expect. Family, food, fun, that's what it is all about. When I was first married I made a full turkey feast with all the trimmings and invited my family over, not knowing if anything would turn out worth eating. It was a complete success and I was so proud! Me? Tragedies? There are a few, how else can we learn?
