Cooking...music...movies !

I started cooking at a very young age...nothing fancy, eggs and toast!  I was 8 years old and cooking was not  an option because my dad was in a bad auto accident...and my mom had to work.  By the time I was 10, I could cook

up a batch of glazed donuts. Presently I'm on a low-sodium, lowfat diet...not a diabetic but try to cook my des-

serts sugar-free. Below you will find a recipe that been in my family for over 100 years, given to you as my mom 

made it, and modified by me for a healthy version. Should you try this cake...let me know thru the Guestbook.

MUSIC

 

I acquired a likeness for all music...tho it hasn't always been like that. I hated the blues, unless

it was Lowell Fulson singing  "Lonesome Christmas," or BB King singing "Woke Up This Morn-

ing."  Music began to change rhythms and I wanted leave the "shuffles" behind. But little did I

know those old rhythms would never go out of style !
