Happy Thanksgiving!

About Cooking
I love to cook. I didn’t always love to cook, mostly because I burned or ruined everything I tried to make, but my mother-in-law was a patient and gentle instructor, and eventually I learned. I still can ruin a dinner, but it doesn’t happen as often as it used to. This Thanksgiving I will cook…
