Back to basics

Home & family & focusing on what my kids tell me

Taking time to rest & relax

Spending time with good friends

Really enjoying that beautiful spring day

Appreciating what I have

Counting my blessings



I think on these things.

Unitarian-Universalist minister Carol Rosine once said to me, "All we can really hope for in life is happy moments."

Happy Moments.

Do you remember Gus’s final show when he told his listeners that something else would come along in our lives to take the place of the Yankee Kitchen? 

I know, for me, that other things did come along.  But the happy moments that I had while listening to Gus and his callers, and the joys that I experienced during the Yankee Kitchen years, were truly irreplaceable.



I was so pleased to hear from some Yankee Kitchen listeners recently.

I got a wonderful email from Calamity Jane.  She was happy to connect with me and share memories of the Yankee Kitchen Days.  She also shared her recipe for Andrew’s Crustless Apple Pie.  Here it is.

I look forward to hearing from you, answering requests for old favorites, and putting the word out to others who may have that special recipe you've been seeking.
