I’m getting a kick out of reading the recipes in my old cook books. I admit it’s a bit of a challenge to find ones that I want to make and know we will enjoy eating. The book I used today is The Lily Wallace New American Cook Book. Lily Haxworth Wallace is listed as […]
Yep, It’s Monday
I had plans to bake and bring you some delicious, sweet little recipe today….It wasn’t meant to be! The water heater flooded my laundry room and storage closet this morning, which forced me to shut off the water to the entire house, until I could crank the knob on the dad gum thing to off. […]
