It is Monday and I am back on schedule…I told you I would get it together.
Anywho…Cooking was certainly going to be part of my future because I was surrounded by so many women that believed in cooking for family, friends, church functions, and the neighborhood. Yes…I said the neighborhood…because if I did not have anything to eat, then I knew exactly which house to go to get a hot plate that was made with love.
