I enjoy cooking, but don't always have the time to cook the way I would like. My daily cooking is usually quick and easy, but I love to try new foods and make a point to have something extra special every now and then... I love making a traditional Thanksgiving dinner... I don't have the time to cook like that everyday, but I make certain I can do it for Thanksgiving! When I was younger, my mother and I used to make Christmas cookies for Santa Claus. We have so many great memories of decorating those sugar cookies each year. My husband tells me I make the absolute best chicken and dumplings! My chicken and dumplings is more like a chicken stew with dumplings, though --lots of carrots and celery, too! For my senior homecoming, my date and I decided to have broiled kabobs at home before going out to the dance... I dropped the broiler pan and all its drippings when removing from the oven. The drippings burned my feet badly and I couldn't wear my shoes for the dance! It's funny looking back, but it was quite a tragedy that night.
