I STARTED COOKING AS A CHILD, FROM A COOKBOOK THAT MY MOM SAVED CARNATION EVAPORATED MILK LABELS FOR. I STILL HAVE IT & THE SCRAMBLE EGGS & BROWNIES RECIPE PAGES ARE VERY DIRTY W/ STAINS FROM DAYS GONE BY. MY MOM WENT TO WORK DURING THE VIETNAM WAR & I STARTED COOKING DINNER REGULARLY, THAT WAS 5TH GRADE. LONG BEFORE WA STATE HAD "COUNTRY WOMAN" MAG, MY AUNT IN KANSAS HAD IT, THEN CAME "A TASTE OF HOME", STILL LOVE THEM. I LOVE CHURCH COOKBOOKS FOR FAMILY AND TRIED & TRUE RECIPES. THE PICTURE IS MY GREAT NEPHEW "JAY ROCCO" WITH ME ON THE BEACH OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN WHERE WE LIVE THIS SUMMER.
