A Gift For My Readers - Eat And Be Merry

My dear friend, Gregory Kompes, put together a holiday recipe and story collection that could be shared during this holiday season. I know most all of the contributing authors. I can't wait to try the recipes they shared. Everyone contributed a story to go along with the good food. The writing is superb and fun to read.

I contributed my mother's pound cake recipe. My stepdaughter and I made one for Thanksgiving. This was the first time I'd attempted in all these years to make my mother's signature cake. We burnt it! Oh well, the inside tastes like heaven. I had to laugh...if you read my essay in the recipe collection, you'll understand why.

I hope you enjoy this gift. Let me know what you think. I promised to pass the comments on to Gregory. I'm sure he'd like to know that all his hard work is appreciated.

Happy Holidays!!! Here's the link to Recipes and Writing.

Cleaning...Really, I Am

I wish it wasn't so. I wish I was blogging but eventually I have to pull myself away from my love of writing and do mundane tasks like clean my house. So today I am doing something good for me and my family...making our house pretty for Christmas.

Check back tomorrow for your regular diet of LifePrints. I hope everyone who celebrates the holidays is enjoying the season and rejoicing over the happiness that this time of the year brings. Merry Christmas and more to the entire blogging community!

Peace,
Lisa
