Thank you. Looks fun, and there are so many threads, it's impossible to read everything as it goes screamin' past. Anything you're into, I imagine it's here.

Great community, too.

Thanks again for the warm welcome. When I first started reading the threads here, the impression I got was that it was very 'clubby' and clique-ish. I find, though, that MOST folks are very nice and if you behave and basically show some respect and decorum...okay, some folks are STILL going to treat you like vermin, BUT...I think I'll hang around to see who I like, and who likes me back. :)

Hey Ya'll! I'm waiting on dinner to be done....don't know what's gotten into me lately but I've been doing my share of cooking.

Ok, yes, the fire department comes over cause they love my cooking! LOL! It's way too hot to be using the oven, but there were a few things left in the freezer that needed cooked and weren't going to wait till fall when it cools down again.

I made the family traditional stuffing.....something that we usually only have during holiday time. It's simply delicious!

I'm getting hungry! :)

Thank you sweetie...
should you ever wish to share your recipes... you should post then on Bear's cooking thread.

I am in the process of updating the family recipe book. I've had it for 20 years or so, and my brother and sister-in-law never got theirs when they got married last year. Time to update the recipes. It's such a treasure as some of the people who contributed to the book years ago have passed on.

Last weekend my cousin's wife got to see the book and didn't even realize it existed. I'm hoping to have it updated by Christmas. Kind of fun to preserve our family history through the recipes we enjoy at the holidays and other times.

Has anyone else ever done a family recipe book?

Thanks! My cousin took a copy so that it could get scanned in and we'd have a computer copy. The original was typed. I took time to separate the recipes into categories (which included folding and copying some of the originals to separate them). Looking forward to the finished product.

It will be cool to see.....preserving the old fonts from the typewriting and seeing the new stuff with graphics and cool fonts and stuff. It's going to be really, really cool.

It's quite a treasure!
