Kim at Starry Sky Ranch has some great free scrapbooking links.
We’re still waiting for winter to arrive in Baltimore but here are some links to comfort foods, diet and NOT. My favorite comfort food is a mashed potato sandwich…
2 slices of good crusty bread
mayo, salt & pepper
leftover mashed potatoes
Slice of your favorite cheese
…
Warm the bread with a slice of your favorite cheese in the toaster oven. Warm the potatoes in the microwave. Combine with mayo and salt & pepper to taste.

Grandma’s Recipes
~ Unknown ~
…
This has always puzzled me, just how much is a pinch?
These recipes of dear Grandma’s surely are no cinch.
A “snip” of this, a “dab” of that, a “lump” of something else,
Then “beat it for a little while”, or, “stir until it melts.”
I have to be a wizard to decipher what she meant,
By all these strange proportions in her cookbook worn and bent.
How much nutmeg in the doughnuts? Grandma wouldn’t flinch,
As she said, with twinkling eyes, “Oh, just about a pinch.”
There must have been in her wise head a measuring device,
That told her just how much to use of sugar, salt and spice.
