pattroseThings I'm Grateful For:
Gosh, this could take all night. 😂 I'll list the first thing I'm grateful for. That would be my father, a chef who taught me to cook and bake every Sunday night from when I was 11 until I was 18. He gave me his first cookbook when I got married and moved out of our home. I still have it, and still use it for many things. Once we got a house we had Sunday dinners at our place, unless we took the meal to my mom and dad's house and cooked it there. My folks were thrilled to have Sundays off. But I had to really learn to make smaller meals for us alone. On Sundays, I made dinner for 11 of us. That's what happens when you have six brothers and a sister, plus your parents.
What are your most grateful for?
