Breaking traddition.

I'm such an asshole when it comes to sharing recipes.. I don't know why. Mabey it's because everyone in my family has always been like that. There was family favorites that you had to wait till a specific time of year.. Like the Special K Bars my wenchy Aunt would make. She's an awesome baker, but woman can't cook a meal to save her life. Remember the one Thanksgiving we had at her house where she 'cooked'.. Yea the turkey was frozen solid in the middle!

My poor Gram. Memories of her cousine included burnt pancakes that would ooze batter when you cut into them, charred grilled cheese sammiches with tomato soup, lumpy cream of wheat and oatmeal.. I still prefer my grilled cheese "cajun" and cream of wheat to be somewhat "chunky" lol. She could make the divinity and pinnochi tho. (However, she always wound up with hardcore burns on her belly from getting too close to the pot while cooking.)

Moms. Well if anyone should have gone to Culinary School it was her. Sadness back in her day they didn't allow females in the kitchen, so the closest she came was taking a dining room course at the tech school. She would have owned! Somewhat annoying that she no longer cooks, so it's all up to me now. I go visit and want something she used to make, I gotta make it! No baking cookies with that Grandma..Oh well more fun (work!) for me I guess.

Everyone seems to have their own recipe blogs these days.. I suppose I might go that route with this one. I mean, I've found alot of the "super top secret" things online anyways. I think it's kinda neat when there's pictures along with the recipes, which works so you know what stuff "should" look like. I still thing things always come out different because every person is different and will alter things to their taste/liking. I guess this is my "comming to a blog near you: top secrets of the disco kitchen" lol. So the title need some work. Gimmie a break!
