Happier New year to you, also. I will post some recipes in the coming year. I like cooking what my Mom used to cook for us; Cornish Pasties are my favorite, Pot Roast with Beer, Potato Leek soup,and others.
Recipes will come later as I get them typed.
Best of luck in the New Year and keep those wonderful descriptive stories, and wonderful recipes, of yours coming.
