I guess I get my love of cooking from both sides of my family. My grandma Rosia Mabel was a short little German woman who loved to cook and feed people. She collected recipes by the dozens. I can only imagine what she would think of the internet access to all things culinary. The other side, my great-grandmother Hetchaw could throw a 8 course meal together in an hour. She raised 8 children by herself, I don't know how she did it, but I'm glad she passed down the cooking gene to her daughter, my grandma Marge, and my mom Pat. Don't know if my kids have the same passion!
