About Me

Describe Yourself:

Food is so basic, so essential a part of our lives, often the mere sharing of recipes with strangers turns them into friends.

Good recipes ... and new friends!

Anything from the 60's! Billy Joel, Mamas & Papas, Simon & Garfunkel, Rod Stewart, Johnny Mathis, Louis Armstrong, James Taylor

Me:

I have strong favorable biases towards murder mysteries, ice cream, sidewalks and streetlights, Italian food, watching snow fall, my family and, of course, reading ... but not necessarily in that order. My world consists of a loving husband and two grown children ... and my writing. My hard drive is full of works in progress; some I'll finish soon and some are for later. I never delete anything!

Hi Marianne!

Nobody's comment boxes are loading for me today, including my own. Gather is so frustrating. Just wanted to say hi and thank you for dropping by.

Your tuna sandwiches look and sound yummy. I'll have to try that tomorrow for lunch.

Hi Marianne, Just wondering - may I please use the colorful "My heart leaps up when I behold a rainbow in the sky" design you did for a Rainbow Connection post a few weeks ago in my new color announcement? I think I have directions for doing it somewhere, but do not have the time or energy right now. Let me know! Thanks!

Hi Marianne, FYI, I posted the recipe for Squash Pickles today. You had taken an interest when Sandra H posted the photograph of them. Look to my profile to find them
Have a great summer.

My icon is my great niece Brynn. I asked her to do a "peek a boo" behind my dad's fence so she did. She is SO photogenic!

Thanks for asking Marianne. I have rheumatoid arthritis for many years. Spring rains caused a bad flare up. I'm OK now I guess. Have a wonderful week.

Hi Marianne! Good Morning. I have been enjoying your recipes immensely. You are a fabulous cook obviously. You mentioned my church pics. I am a church architecture fan. Have about 200 of them. It was lucky I guess the current theme was churches etc. Thought I'd tell you this. Have a wonderful week and keep the recipes coming. By the way, the Borbon Slush made a big hit with company.
