This is probably true of many of you out there too, enjoy reading cookbooks! I enjoy creating things, sewing, knitting, embroidery, crochet, jewelry. Dessert! Chocolate! Stir-fries. In that order. I love to make pumpkin seeds at Halloween with my boys. Growing up, my Mom would make "eggs in a Frame", and I loved when Dad stopped at the donut store (usually Dawn Donuts) after working the midnight shift at the plant. Grandma and I loved making fudge together, and she taught me to use a cast iron skillet for everything - especially cornbread! My French Canadian Grandma would make special items for Holidays; mincemeat pies and for my polish Grandpa we had to get kielbasa from Hamtramk, served with sauerkraut of course! I always looked forward to the elaborate relish tray too. When ever I make something BOTH of my boys like! Greasy disgusting hamhocks and soggy green beans, no one would eat it! (Except the dog)
