I'm a retired old codger living on the Alabama coast and loving it. I'm also a frustrated chef who believes that too many family recipes have been lost because no one wrote them down. I figured this out when my children came home and asked for the everyday dishes we had always ate. They had no idea how to prepare them. I TAKE THAT BACK, ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS IS A BETTER COOK THAN I. So in 1986 I wrote a cookook of family recipes. They got it for Christmas 1989. Last year I decided to write a cookbook dedicated to the simple everyday meals we all have everyday. I just finished it and it goes to the publisher next month. So now I can go back to my favorite pastimes, family, friends, cooking,fishing and hugging my beautiful wife Patricia. I've been retired several years now and my greatest pleasure is to sit down at a table, piled high with good food and surrounded by family and friends. Some of my best dishes are the easy ones. Beef and Noodles, PoMans Fried Potatoes, Vinager Gravy, Tomato Gravy. OH OH! my food is telling on me. Yup I'm a farm boy raised in northern Michigan on a rock farm and learned to cook from my German mother who could out cook anyone in the area.
