They say in life, that YOU should NOT change WHO YOU ARE, but LET those who want to be Friends accept YOU for WHO YOU ARE... I have cooked now for over 50 years, and 25 years in the Fire Service, The Firemen never had a problem with the amount of food I cooked. They even wanted more. It is to this wish that I will continue to cook like I have all my life. All YOU Chef's and Home Cooks should be able to figure it ut how to portion it for your Families. To this end I will be true from now on! Thank You to All of You who support my recipes and enjoy what I share! Fireman Bob :)
