4 heads of garlic would certainly keep the vampires and fleas away. A section like that would certainly be entertaining.

When my brother got married his new wife did NOT know how to cook. Well, being a wonderful woman and wanting to make brownies for my brother, she thought scratch would be better than a mix. Well the brownie recipe called for 1/2 cup of cocoa, but the recipe she had gotten from a friend at work was written as 1-2 c instead of a slash or using the words. Well not knowing , she put 1 1/2 cups of cocoa thinking that that was half way between 1 & 2 cups. Needless to say the brownies were very chocolatey. Fortunately she had a good sense of humor and they and our family got a good laugh. Well she and I had a 101 coarse along with a Better Homes and Garden cookbook. My mother was not a real good cook, and I had a real desire to learn to cook and started cooking when I was about 8. Both of my grandmothers were great cooks and were thrilled to teach me. Well that was 35 years ago and she is now a very good cook and can make a killer brownie.

I have Multiple Sclerosis and am now at home and am always trying to make short cuts for my favorite recipes. I am having so much fun looking at recipes and reading the replies. I still love to cook and now have the time, which is good as it takes me longer to do things these days.
Y'all have a great day and remember the Lord will always give you the strength you need to accept changes in your life and He will always hold you in His hands.
