I’m with you Aunt Sue…I love the stories too. Three years ago my daughter-in-law and started a family cookbook and asked each contributer to send along a story with each recipe. we assembled the more than 100 recipes we got into loose-leaf binder and sent a copy to each person. Sadly, three of the contributers have since died, but just think…we never would have had those stories if we had waited a couple of more years to do it. Now we have a family treasure. We also asked for culinary disasters, but it turns out that I’m the only person who ever had one !

Nancy, I am completely with you. I have had a few culinary disasters of my own…those stories to come!

Nancy – You are not alone. I question the memories of those who said they have not had culinary disasters! I certainly have had them – like the hard boiled eggs for our childrens’ Easter egg hunt that turned out to be hardly cooked at all when the kids applied the slightest pressure! Luckily no one was eating those! I love the idea of your family cookbook. What a wonderful treasure!
