About Me: I am a retired teacher. I am rattling around the house, trying to adjust my habits and my cooking to single servings. I adore Christmas and spend a lot of time making ornaments and reading Christmas stories. I have an adorable tortoiseshell cat whom I adopted from the pound. She is a senior citizen also, so we get along very well.

My Greatest Cooking Triumph: My greatest cooking triumph as to be related to the first Thanksgiving my husband and I celebrated. He comes from a large family, so we had a guest list of 35. I was used to cooking for my family of 3 or 4 prior to this, but I managed to pull it off. I had a recipe for overnight turkey. The recipe warned that 1 hour before it was done, it would be very pale. It was. My husband panicked totally which caused me to panic, also. But I followed directions and it was perfect! Golden brown and beautiful. He paraded it all through the house showing it off to everyone.

My Biggest Kitchen Disaster: My first cooking failure after my marriage involved veal. My mother made a wonderful Veal Pocket recipe. Problem, I didn't know what cut of veal it used. Back in my old home town this was no problem. You told the butcher you wanted meat for a veal pocket and there you were. But here in Arizona, the butcher just looked at me. He sold me something but it was not the cut I needed and it turned out absolutely dreadful (although the stuffing was good -- we had to throw the meat out and just eat the stuffing that night!0

My Food For Thought: "A simple and comforting prayer -- a simple affirmation of faith:" All shall be well, And all shall be well, And all manner of things shall be well. Attributed to Dame Julian of Norwich, a 13th century English mystic and quoted by Sarah Ban Breathnaugh.
