Thank you for all the recipes and stories!
I'm preparing some of them for publication.
I can't wait to try them all! Keep them coming.
The more I browse through the book the more I love it! I can't wait to give it to one of you.
For those of you who are just joining us, you can participate in an on line contest. Send me a recipe and a paragraph about why it means so much to you or your family and you might win a cookbook by Faith Ford, "Cooking with Faith".
Good luck all you wonderful cooks.
Someone suggested that we should make a cookbook of all these wonderful recipes. Hum....maybe so.
Remember the picture of Mom and Dad fussing over the Lemon Cake? Well....last night I waited until everyone went to bed and I grabbed the last piece. I savored every bite remembering all the snitches each family member had swiped over the years. I smiled as I remembered coming down the steps one night and catching one of the kids chomping on a huge piece of the cake.
I remembered how many times I've watched Mom stirring and working on the cake. We might work on the decorations or play a game or watch a movie, but when that warm lemon smell filled the entire house and we heard those wonderful words, "Okay, it's done. All it needs is a little time in the fridge..." - the plans to snitch could be seen in every one's eyes.
Here's the cause of all those wonderful memories....
