Recipe for a Happy Marriage

This was in Jed's Nonnie's cookbook. His Aunts compiled a few family favorites and made this as a Christmas gift one year. I use it all the time. It's funny to me how food = memories. I think if carrot cakes on my past Birthdays and my Mom's stuffing at Thanksgiving. Uugghhh, and eggplant and duck at my Grandma's house. Not my favorite! Anyways, I thought this was fun and that I'd share. <3

Recipe for a Happy Marriage

1 cup consideration

1 cup courtesy

2 cups flattery, carefully concealed

2 cups milk of human kindness

1 gallon Faith in God and each other

2 cups praise

1 small pinch of in-laws

1 reasonable budget

A generous dash of cooperation

3 tsp pure extract of "I am sorry"

2 cups of contentment

1 cup of confidence

2 children, at least

1 large portion of several small hobbies

1 cup blindness to each others faults

Flavor with frequent portions of recreation and a dash of happy memories. Stir well and remove any specks of jealousy, temper or criticism. Sweeten well with generous portions of love and keep warm with a steady flame of devotion. Never serve with a cold shoulder or a hot tongue.

Welcome to My Kitchen!

Hi ya'll! I am so excited to start this recipe blog! I need a project of my own (this is free, no glue involved and doesn't need fed and watered- the best kind of hobby!) and so I thought it would be fun to spend my "me time" with you, (well sorta :D)

I am going to add new recipes and also copy/paste all of the recipes from our family blog to this one. PLEASE leave comments, let me know if the recipe was a Hero or a Zero, and any adjustments you made to make it better. If you have a spectacular recipe you'd like to share, please email it to me so I can add it. No one can ever have too many recipes, right?

I hope that this blog will help you figure out what's for dinner (I hate this daily question!), spend time with your family around the dinner table and make memories with friends. Today (09/27/10) is National "Eat Dinner with Your Family" Day, I think that some of my favorite time is spent around a table with good food and even better friends and family. Enjoy!
