I always felt it stupid when people said it's a "secret". You can get any recipe that makes the grade so be gone with your secret. i'm a good cook and baker. Do you want my recipes?? I'll gladly give it to you. It's the best form of flattery. I pass them on all the time. surrah

I cried when the Horn and Hardart went the way of all flesh. Just loved that place. Put in the nickels and out came whatever dish you wanted and oh the veggies. A long lost dream. You are all probalby too young to remember (40's 50's, etc) surrah

I would love for someone to analyze the psyche of someone who will not share a recipe. In this day and age there's almost any way to put something together. Please someone analyze for me the brain of an individual who will think like that. I share any and all. Why not? It's great to connect through food.

Rather than Boitano who might surprise us all, bring on some 80 year olds who cook by a little this and a little that a la Rachel. We might show them a thing or two that we learned from our Moms from the "old country"...Give it a try Food Network. You need a couple of gray haired ladies who know the ropes. surrah

Kerry, the doc was off track. My husband was French (from Brittany) and my older son only spoke French until he was 3. We both spoke to him in French tho I'm not French but speak it. He played with his little friends who would look at me and say "I don't know what he's saying" but he managed to learn English as well from his friends. Didn't do it with son #2 and I think he'll never forgive me tho both of them have been back and forth to their French family a number of times. Enjoy your recipes. Will continue to follow. Lost a good recipe for french bread and tried the recipe a number of time by the Lady who wrote "why French women are thin, etc" and what a sticky mess. Will keep following you. surrah@optonline.net
