51 and fabulous! Anything different, delightful and delicious! I enjoy new recipes and ingredients that are not the norm for my family. I own 100 cookbooks and every week I prepare something new. On the first day of each year, I cook a variety of ethnic dishes. My family comes over and we celebrate diversity. When Christmas day arrives, my family and I have a Progressive Party where each course of the meal is served at a different home. The children are especially pleased. In OK, the weather can be rough that time of year, but we still carry on with our tradition! My friends were in Washington DC one year on May 5th. When they realized it was Cinco de Mayo, they packed and flew home so they could attend my annual feast. My menudo is so delicious! As a young single mom in CA, the elders realized that I could cook and started requesting my food for Church dinners. ALL gravy except Giblet Gravy for Thanksgiving. I'm serious...I have the skill to kill the packaged and jar kinds!
