I Just LOVE to COOK!!

Even when I was young I was interested in the way my family cooked.  From my grandpop's fried chicken and turnip greens with cornbread dumplings (mmmm mmmm) to my mom letting me bake Nestle chocolate chip cookies whenever I wanted to.  I guess, you can say, that's how I learned to cook.  I don't think you have to learn to cook or know how to cook.  If you can follow a recipe you can cook!  I hate to hear people say, I can't cook or I don't know how to cook.  Really?? Just say it, you DON'T cook, that's all!  I not only love to cook but I love to eat!  I guess my love for eating has made my love to cook grow.  It's nothing like trying a new recipe, or an old one that is passed down, to give you that feeling of accomplishment when it turns out delicious.  The compliments give the satisfaction of a job well done!  Whenever I invite anyone over or have a get together, the first thing I am asked is..."What's on the menu?"...  What do you mean, what's on the menu?  Is that the only reason you are coming over?...  Yeah, pretty much:)...Well, at least if not the company they like the food! Ha Ha!  All this talk about food, i'm getting hungry.  What's for dinner?  I think i'm going to peel some potatoes and we will have potato soup...yummy!
