The Cookbook

This is great, Elizabeth. I can't believe that I actually managed to follow your directions so that I could blog! First, I want to say to Mike, Mary, Ronnie & Reba, THANK YOU for hosting this year's reunion. It was wonderful and we had such fun. Ya'll did a great job putting it together for all of us. Second, I never remember to bring my own camera to take pictures. I guess I am still stuck in the mind frame that Elizabeth will take plenty of pictures (which she does) but she hasn't lived at home in ???? how many years now? I do look forward to seeing everyone else's pictures (hint, hint , hint.) And, last, Chloe and I have decided that every time she spends the night with me that we will cook using recipes from the family cookbook. We made Dayna's "Chicken Gloria" and Aunt Gina's "Brownies" this week. Dayna, great recipe! I had several friends drop by that evening and they loved that recipe so much that they didn't leave room for dessert. Aunt Gina... your brownies are unbeatable. They are the one's that remind me of my childhood. Thanks to Dayna's recipe, I had enough brownies for Chloe to take home to her brothers and Mom and Dad. (which gave me "brownie points" at the Davis house). Needless to say, I love the cookbook and I will be posting throughout the year as Chloe and I make our way through the recipes. What fun as Chloe and I love to cook together. So, Aunt Gina, thanks for getting the recipe book started (and Aunt Barri, too) and Mary and Reba for putting it together for us. It's such a treasure in my eyes.

OK Cousins....get to posting or shall I say blogging? Surely, ya'll aren't going to let me show you up on this , are you?
