When I was 14 years old, Mom handed me her many recipes that were scribbled out on scraps of paper and stored in a box and asked me to type them out on my manual typewriter. She gave me a tiny binder with lined paper and the work began. Many of the recipes didn't have instructions because she didn't need them, but I really wish they were there now.

Mom passed away on October 29, 1997 after an 18 month battle with cancer. At that time, the book went missing. Dad looked for it, but he wasn't sure what he was searching for, finally in June 2004, he found it. It just so happened, a friend of mine from my hometown was coming to visit me the same week, so I had her pick it up from him. I didn't want to risk having it shipped in the mail.
