I have been using the Yummly plug in to put my recipes in a format that is easy for you to access and print. They have a program called Yummly Publisher that allows the recipes I put in their format to be accessed in one place. So, you should be able to access most of my recipes at http://www.yummly.com/page/oldfatguy.
Give it a try!
The Old Fat Guy
You have to love cooks, chefs and foodies in general. There isn’t any competition between them, just an urge to make something better. A cook sees a new idea or technique and they don’t say “I wish I thought of that.” They get excited and think how they can use it. They put their own twist on it and the world is improved with a new dish. Continue reading Cooks Make Everything Better
I find myself at peace this Christmas. It has been a good year. I am married to a great person. Friends are coming for Christmas dinner. I am as healthy as an old fat guy can be.
It makes me think of many who don’t have shelter, fine food or even hope. May we reach out a hand to those who need it.
To all of you, I wish a Christmas of good food, much love and great joy.
To my friends who do not celebrate Christmas, I wish you peace and contentment now and for the New Year.
I thank everyone for being part of my wonderful world.

Spring has finally arrived here in the Rockies. She Who Must Be Obeyed is happy because some flowers are finally coming up. Who cares about that. The important news is the garlic is sprouted and the tomato seeds are sprouted and getting their first leaves.
