I am a Grandmother of 16 and a GreatGrandmother of 2 and I love cooking when we all get together! Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes and chicken, milk gravy, scalloped corn and homemade apple pie. Each of my children have a 'special' something they like me to cook, so we have quite a diverse meal when we all get together! Since they all live in different states, I do all the cooking for 30+ people. I love it! At Christmas, my baking starts in November! I have pefected apple pie (according to my family)... I had quite a few flops when I first started baking pies. A wise old woman told me, "Don't worry about it. If it ain't pie, it's puddin'." That took the fear out of my experiments...
