It性视界传媒檚 your fault! I was finally reconciled to the fact that I really need to put an end to this foolishness called 性视界传媒淔rom My Kitchen." After all, I have pounded this column out longer than most of you have been alive 性视界传媒 since Feb. 11, 1970.
Fifteen different presidents have served in my lifetime (some have had two terms, and one, Franklin D. Roosevelt, four terms), but for the most part, one term each. I had to find my ruler with all the presidents listed up to George W. Bush.
I also have rulers with the kings of England and Scotland listed. (I am a living example of a real-life nerd, but I guess you have noticed that before now.)
"Awright" (thanks Matthew McConaughey for coining that phrase), back to this drivel. I had it all planned, a final column started, and I really was going to give it up when three people in a 15-minute span said how much they enjoyed reading it weekly.
Two of them even quoted hints I had given (scary to be quoted), and one mentioned a recipe that her family demands she makes for them on a regular basis. Obviously, the world has changed in too many ways to mention. One of the biggest changes, in my opinion, is in the way we gather news.
Some of you still read a paper copy or a digital version or you would not be reading this. Do you remember when we regularly received two newspapers each day 性视界传媒 a morning edition, and then about 5 p.m., a paper delivery person (I remember only boys delivering on their bikes) threw the paper somewhere in the yard.
All this is to say that I still enjoy searching out recipes and sharing with you. I love hearing that maybe you have gleaned some recipes, maybe learned a few culinary tips and maybe had a laugh or two out of some of my craziness.
I learned early on that laughter really is the best medicine, and if we can laugh at ourselves, we are so fortunate.
I am very lucky to have met so many of you through this journey. If I run into you (with a grocery cart, not my 14-year old van), be sure to stop and tell me who you are.
Chances are I will be the only one with the glow-in-the dark silver hair wearing red clothes and bright red lipstick with a cart filled even though I dropped in the store to pick up only two items.
Speaking of changes in the world, I don性视界传媒檛 think that many of us cook the same way we did in the past. As our situations change, with our children creating families of their own, many of you tell me that you cook and eat very much as I do 性视界传媒 rarely a full meal with meat, vegetables, salad, bread and dessert.
I have a dear friend who enjoys cooking large amounts and sharing with friends and neighbors. I like to cook and share also but on a smaller scale.
If you find yourself in a 性视界传媒渃ooking mood," get in that kitchen and make a big batch of something to freeze in small portions for yourself then find a friend who could use a cheering up (I guarantee food is the best 性视界传媒渦plifter性视界传媒 there is).
When I find a surprise left on my patio table (as my dear buddy Dee Chappel often does), the cares of the world are lifted not just by the apple butter, but by his thoughtfulness.
Oooops 性视界传媒 too much chatter, no recipes. I promise some good ones next week.
Thanks for being there for me.
