Still in love with my husband after all these years, our common base is our Catholic faith (met at church in Florida). At 60, I have discovered that keeping life simple lets me focus on what is most important and not be distracted. Simple, homemade but tasty foods. Comfort foods are the best. Polish, Lithuanian, Ukrainian foods are my comfort foods. Just the fragrance of saute onions, celery and carrots bring back the memories of Mom filling the house with love. She called it "peasant food". It was delicious!! Making my holiday tradition of celebrating the close of Christmas with an Epiphany party. Not knowing I used salt instead of sugar in chocolate cake (both in the same type of canister). Learned to keep the salt in it's own contained after that. Learned also to never pickle again.
