Not sure how good a cook I am, but no one has ever left my table less then full and smiling.

As for recipes, I have a large collection, and if you ever need something just let me know, I either have a recipe or know where to find one. I have a few friends who cook, some professionally and they are also veritably founts of information and recipes.

Well, I know you have tried some of yorkie’s recipes and we are always discussing food! I used to cook a lot more than I do now. Its hard to cook for one like I used to cook for the family. But I did fry me some delicious oysters tonight...I do the old fashioned fried oysters like my Mama did. Breaded in cornmeal and fried in a skillet of oil and real butter. Yes, they are fattening but they will make you smack you grandma down!!! And of course, I don’t fry many foods at all!
And I don’t fix oysters too often.

My husband’s family had a Christmas tradition of Oysters for Christmas morning breakfast. A big skillet of fried oysters, another skillet of scrambled eggs, jams, jellies, or fried apples and hot biscuits. We did that for years and then when the family started spreading out and having their own families, the tradition slipped away! Too many families to visit and eat with, etc.etc. thats the way life is!
