My kids don't remember the various times I've made perfectly edible, or even delicious meals and desserts. What they do remember are the vile biscuits I tried to make from scratch last year, or the incredibly botched meatloaf from five years ago. My sisters and I still joke about the time our mother burned the Kraft Mac & Cheese in 1982, and we all started singing "Somthing's Burnin" by Kenny Rogers. It's the mistakes that create memories.Floating in the Milkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00385216656081167227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19053670.post-1167116817608905022006-12-25T23:06:00.000-08:002006-12-25T23:06:00.000-08:00Thanks Sideon!!!Merry Christmas and hugs and love ...Thanks Sideon!!!<BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas and hugs and love to you too!!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks T-Wanker!!!<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you're enjoying my book!!!
