I'm one of those cooks who looks at cookbooks to get an inspiration, but who never FOLLOWS a recipe --- haven't since I was 10. Gran cooked measuring by 'handfuls' and 'pinches' and so do I. So, generally, did Mom. But---I can convert. I cook by smell. I start...

We'll have some exciting stuff--- We're cleaning out the office--- We're cleaning up the house---we're actually unpacking from the move of 2007, and playing keep, sell, or toss with lots and lots of stuff!
