Well I learn something new each time I go to my blog. I never think that anyone bothers to read mine, but I was pleasantly surprised to see a fellow blogger had commented, thank you Kristin. After my feeble attempt to write something I'm going directly to her blog to check out the newest recipes.

As I said before I'm the mother of a cook who has surpassed my cooking skills, but as it should be. I do remember his first experiences cooking. At college he and friends lived in an apartment and getting tired of pizzas , carry out, and junk food he called and asked for some basic recipes, spaghetti sauce, meatloaf,etc. and from there on he built his own recipe collection. Now he is the owner of many, many recipe books and still collecting. He also has a blog, Cooking with Christopher with some of his tried and true recipes.

I just tried one of his recipes this weekend, Stuffed pepper cassarole, good,but one adjustment, 2 cups of cooked rice instead of one. The black bean recipe is also delicious. I hope I inspired him some way, but then maybe it was in self-defense of my cooking.

August 17,2009

It's been awhile since I visited my own blog. I love going to "To the next blog", there are a lot of interesting stories, pictures,and lives to share. I only wish I could read a foreign language, but pictures are universal and tell many stories.
I've been following my son's blog "Cooking with Christopher.blogspot.com and he has many good recipes on his blog and all kitchen tested before he blogs them. I did find a site that lists many food blogs which is very interesting just by typing in search, food blogs. Try it . Also try going to Karincarlisiwelch.blogspot.com Good recipes!

Went to see Julia/Julie movie, good,good,good! Julia Child was a very interesting character and not afraid to make cooking mistakes, everything was fixable to her. I wished I had watched her more on PBS.

That's it for today or maybe awhile, happy cooking to all.
