FOODIE FRIDAY-COOKING HAS COME FULL CIRCLE

School was out here today for a teacher work day....SOOO, I had all the little girlie's home...So this post is more of a cooking story ,than A recipe... I do hope you don"t mind... I do hope sweet Michael will forgive me....
Where did you learn to cook ? If you read my blog, you know I speak of my Dear Sweet Grandmother often... My Grandmother started me off cooking at the ripe old age of around five... As a matter of fact, I don't remember a time that I would spend the weekend at her home that we would not bake something... My Grandmother was a wonderful cook...So at the home of my Grandparents I would stand on a chair to reach the top of the counter and my Grandmother lovingly taught me how to measure and stir up the most wonderful treats....I still to this day love to bake...

Yes this is some of my girls ...After lunch, (I was so excited to have most of them home ) We turned the country Music up real loud ( their idea!!!) and the fun began... My Sweet sixteen year old (with spoon in hand) using it to stir some ...and then as a microphone some (we just went with the mood) Her best friend...holding my sweet granddaughter Babycakes... and my 9 year old granddaughter... They where singing and stirring and just having so much fun...They made blueberry muffins...

If the truth be told, I had the most fun...You see I do so love these sweet, wonderful young women in the making... They, not the music make my heart sing... I just love spending time with each of them... We sang, and laughed till I cried...

My sweet daughter and granddaughter....I think they are beautiful...inside and out.


Oh yea she did just drop the blueberries in the bowl....But don't worry they turned out great...Later as we sat and ate our blueberry muffins, I told them stories of all the fun I had learning to cook at the side of my grandmother...(Not the first time I have told the stories, but as I said, such great women in the making, they sit and listen as if it was the first time the stories where ever told) But maybe just maybe, they like to hear the stories as much as I like to remember them... I just told some of these stories around Christmas time,and the stories came with home made chocolate chip cookies-HUM?...
I just hope that someday, my children and grandchildren will pass on this fun, love and laughter... And I hope, one day , they are lucky enough to sit in the middle of their own circle , remembering where they came from...as they make new memories with the ones that fill their life with love. I love you Granny, I love you my sweet little girls...
LAUGHTER EVER AFTER
XOXO
