I'm still here & still cooking

I've looked through this blog which used to be such an every day part of my life that I had dreams about it, and I've realized that a lot (if not most) of my pictures are no longer here. Photobucket.com has moved on without me. I've also realized that a lot of my links have moved on as well. What's a girl to do? Well, start over seems to be my only choice.

So that is what I'm going to do...in a way....

I've gotten back into cooking again. Creating with food. I've dug out my old Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book which was published in 1976. So far I've made a few things...homemade biscuits, turnovers made with puff pastry (which I created myself with hours of folding & rolling & chilling! So exciting!), a pecan pie which we had on Thanksgiving. I am in utter bliss!

All of this has inspired me to get back to this blog. My past attempts to return to this blog in the blaze of glory that I envision in my mind's eye have ended with long periods of time of my not being here at all. So this time I've given myself a goal. I am going to create posts by trying the recipes in my trusty cookbook! And I'm going to take you along with me!

There are over 1500 recipes in the cookbook. I hope to make it through at least 500 of them. I promise to take you step by step through the recipes with me from start to finish, even the ones that are major fails. I don't expect for them all to be successful! They might be though...let's find out together!
