Greetings!
Welcome to our cookbook. Thanks for visiting, and please feel free to
send your comments, questions, and corrections. Note that some of the pictures in the two red columns are hyperlinks you might find of interest.
If you're like me you love to get in the kitchen and have fun. This is part of a collection of recipes I began for a dear friend of mine in Arkansas. We do this simply because we like to share. These are some of the dishes served in our household. Given in love to my dear friend Margaret Coit.
May the peace of the Lord be always
with you.
Drop me me an
email. Oh - and one more thing. Don't forget to love one another. I promise you that you'll be glad you did. *S*
More Stuff

My wife Sherry (#51) when she was 16. We went through high school, and most of elementary school together. No, we were not high school sweethearts; she wouldn't give me the time of day back in high school. But after a few semesters at U. Mississippi, she learned a thing or two about taste in men. And the rest is history.
Back in the Fall of 2009, at church Sherry discovered her creative call. Oh, and was she a good looking high school senior? You bet she was! (That's her picture to below-right. Click on the image for a closer look.)

A Bit of Church
"Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children." - Mark 14: 18-21
- - Is that a good story; or what?
Yes, we attend church regularly, and love our
parish
Some Music Stuff
In a previous life, I played the blues harmonica in recording studios and on Beale Street in Memphis. Here's a link to a piece I did with Jimmy Davis ("Shoeshine Man"); and another I did with William Lee Golden of the Oak Ridge Boys ("American Vagabond"). I just recently decided it was time to gather more music links into one location. You will find that music page here.
For your musical enjoyment, I've included a link to my Playlist site. And if you really like good music, check out All Memphis Music. We hope you enjoy.Permalink |
