I was thinking this morning how much I love recipes. Kind of strange, I know, maybe I got it from my mother. She had lots and lots of recipes. Why did she have them? Who knows...I know she never made all of them. She passed away this past summer (I sure miss her) and guess what I got. Bunches of her recipes! Now why would I take her recipes when I already have too many myself. Maybe to keep her memory close, maybe to find out more about the things she liked (at least in the food area), maybe so I would have them to pass on to my daughters. I guess many reasons all of which I can't think of right now.
I like to read through a recipe and imagine what the finished product would look like, would taste like, and do I have the ingredients, would my husband like it? I saw one this morning in my email. Yes, I even get recipes in my email. It had scallops in it. Now I hate scallops but my husband likes them. I thought, now this is a recipe he would like. It even uses zucchini squash which he also likes but I don't, unless it is in zucchini bread. Yum!
I think I am rambling but thought I'd share my rambling thoughts with you. Hey, anyone out there like recipes, like I do?
Um, yeh, I like recipes too. I love Taste of Home and today I bought another magazine because of the recipes in it, but not that one though. Oy vay! I also loved mom's old tried and true recipes. Makes me feel close to her cooking things she cooked. Brings back childhood memories. Unfortunately I don't have much opportunity to cook now. However sometimes I look at a recipe and think, "that would be a good one to take to a pot luck"...! Guess we all have our little peculularities...
