When I proudly brought it to the table with ohh's and ahh's and then tried to cut it, it escaped onto the table cloth. A guest said, "Do you have an electric knife?" Good idea! So I escaped back into the kitchen, got a chair and crawled up to that always hard to reach shelf over the refrigerator, unpacked it and turned it on. No! It wouldn't even budge. So I turned it over and we scooped the special pumpkin ice cream out and manually wrestled the candied gingersnap shell into pieces. My pastor's wife wrote me today asking for the receipe as pastor loved the gingersnap shell! So, taste apparently won over presentation at least with him! Happy anniversary my dear. Keep working at it. Have you seen the new movie Julia and Julia? Its about a present day Julia trying out receipes of Julia Childs.

If anything looked great it was as always your creative writing.... which keeps us all coming back for more, even if your food doesn't (ha ha - joking). I've tasted your food, so I'm sure it was great. The only thing missing from the table was the Ketchup ... everything is better with ketchup.

And 34 years later, he still occasionally gets a zooker! However, I don't know that I ever had a presentation as pretty as yours. Eric is a good man. But I bet the food wasn't as bad as you felt it was. It might not have been PERFECT, but I bet it pleased Eric. Could he have done any better??? If he is like most men, I doubt it! Paper plates would have been the order of the day! :) Girl, Your Uncle Dan can tell you some stories about my early years cooking, like the spider pork chops (complete with a real spider) and the spaghetti I made once that the even the dog that would eat anything wouldn’t touch!
