Thanks for the nice comments on my calendars. As much as I love to cook, I don't always follow a recipe. In fact let's say I don't usually follow a recipe, unless I'm baking. In fact I had a baking semi-disaster this week with shortbread. We ate them tho...Then I looked carefully at the recipe and darn if I didn't leave out half the butter.

When I spent a lot of time on the Garden Web Cooking forum after we renovated, there were some nasty comments about "people who don't follow recipes." I gather some people feel they really own their recipes. Phhhht. If I change it and it's not good, I know it's my own fault. So there.

If I ever find a photo that I know has a definite recipe, I'll gladly share it. Right now, I'm just glad I could find a photo that I liked with a dish actually served in that month in 2009.

Recipe! I watched my mom cook and she learned from her mom and it was a pinch of this and a pinch of that-no recipes!
