Well, I just spoke with my daughter and she will be here tomorrow for a conference in DC. Of course she has her requests...........Chicken Picatta (Mom's). I've already figured it into my menu plan for the week, so she's happy. Last night I fixed a "Birthday Celebration Dinner" for my… MORE

Hi, my name is Pat. My "handle" is ravlady59. I am 53 years old and engaged to a really great guy. He eats anything I fix, without complaint. Plus he doesn't mind cooking with me or doing the dishes after dinner. How great is that?! I am very new to blogging. In my blog, I would like to… MORE

About Me

I am 53 the mother of 1 daughter (grown and moved out on her own) and engaged to Darryl. We are avid motorcycle riders and each own Harleys! We have two dogs - Peanut 12 years old a yorkiepoo and our new "baby" is Mac - He is 2 months old and adorable. He is a yorkie. Both have carriers for the bike and goggles, so they ride whenever we do. Take me, take my dogs or I don't go! UPDATE: We got rid of the motorcycles and invested in a new pickup truck and camping trailer! WOW! Now I am trying to come up with meals to fix while we are camping. So much fun!

My favorite things to cook
Anything - I love the challenge of trying to create a new dish or just the comfort of the "old" dishes.

My favorite family cooking traditions
Holiday Meals - same thing every year. But it really is worth looking forward to. Thanks to my Mom and Dad.

My cooking triumphs
So far I haven't lost anyone to my meals. I guess my biggest joy was the year I made Thanksgiving Dinner for my family and extended family for the first time. My Grandmother, was a home economics teacher and Granddaddy was just a wonderful person. Everyone enjoyed the meal and the best part....It was all done and hot/cold at the same time. Yeah!

My cooking tragedies
Lots, too many to mention here but lets just go with "no one died" or refused to try something else I made.
