You Need a Recipe PLUS

Confession – I am not a very good cook.  And I REALLY need a recipe if there is any hope of the result being edible.  But this blog is not really about food. Although when I think of “recipe”, I think of my gourmet cook grandmother whose handwritten recipes my sister saved (and copied for
