Hi! I am SO happy to be part of this group. I am a great grandma and I still LOVE to cook. I am sure there is still plenty to learn so I am always on the lookout for new and different ways to make cooking as enjoyable as it was in the days I was making after school snacks every day for a bunch of hungry kids just off the bus after a long day at our country school! I still love to cook the way I did 'back in the day' and am challenged by cooking a great, satisfying meal with a pantry that looks similiar to Mother Hubbard's!! I love making my own mixes and using the old substitutions I had to learn when we had to drive 20 miles to get a loaf of bread! Looking forward to learning lots of new things here.:LOL:
 
Thanks, Sweetie!

That's about how I did it ... a little of this and a pinch of that! My son once asked me if a tad was the same thing as a smidgen!! I still love cooking like that! Sometimes brings a surprise though!!!:LOL:

Welcome to DC! You might be able to help me decipher my grandma's recipes that my mother and I did not get to (my mother has dementia and hated to cook). I believe the gene skipped a generation.
 
Good morning Polly, we're glad to have you here and you'll have a great time. Good cooks, good people, and good fun. This is a great place to hang your apron. Welcome.
 
deciphering grandma's recipes

I would love to help if I can. It is such fun to read old recipes and figure out (or try to) what the cook meant! I have a few very old cookbooks and each of my grand daughters will sit and read them like a novel just as I do!! :LOL:
 
Welcome! I see we're neighbors. I live here in the heart of the Ozarks too, just south of Branson and near the Buffalo River. There's a great old time cooking heritage here that I've not seen anywhere else except Guam. I think it takes a culture that cares about it's roots in order to preserve what was best from our past. The local Mennonites have taught me that. ;)
