THE WEEKEND ENDS

This was a great day to end the weekend. Church was wonderful, the youth choir are singing their hearts out......I'm so proud of them, it was gorgeous today, still a tad hot, but Fall is Here! The leaves are showing hints of color, which means that soon the hills will resemble bouquets of Fall flowers. It is truly my absolute favorite season. We did a family trip to Costco for lunch and a few things, then hit a couple of pet stores. Wesley is now obsessing about getting a gecko. That's what is on his mind now, so I'm sure in a few weeks, we'll have one. I told him, you buy it, you take care of it, you can have it. Looks like I'm in for having a reptile in this house soon........ One of my reasons for doing this blog, is to have in one place my very favorite recipes. I cook alot differently than I did as a beginner, so some of the recipes will be more "Food TV" type ingredients, but I will never forget my roots, and the precious people in my life that inspired me to cook, and their recipes. Many of which I still crave and cook today. I would like to share with you, Aunt Chellie's Pasta. Thanks Aunt Chellie! I believe that this is one of Mell's family's favorites as well. I'm sure that you could use fresh garlic/thyme/Parmesan cheese, and it would be even better! Enjoy!!! J
