I am an active grandma that loves to bake cookeis. I love to cook & bake special requests for birthdays and am continualy suprised at what me family and friends are hungry for. i.e. chicken soup and maza balls. Most of my family is of German decent and loved soups and fresh baked bread for dinners. My Father loved loved to make sausage and my Mother was baker, One year my Daughter Cindi asked to have an old german receipt I got from my Mother's receipt box in my GrandMothers hand writing for Lentil soup made with pork, flavored with bacon, vinegar & sugar - eaten with cooked prunes and home made bread. We cried at the many memories. The first Turkey I made I forgot to take the stuff out of the neck cavity. Fortunatly it wasn't for a special event.
