It's a cold day today. It's getting ready to rain. Looking out the window, feeling all snug and cozy, I thought maybe I would curl up with a good book and a cup of tea. Or maybe find an old movie to watch and pop some corn. It's times like this that I really wish I could whip up a hearty stew, or bake something that actually tastes good. But I must face the facts here... I am a lousy cook! Oh how I wish I could bake like Greedygirl! I bet on any given day Greedy's kitchen has aromas of roast beef, or empanadas, or a gingerbread fresh from the oven. That woman can cook anything. damn her!

But do you know who else could cook the pants off the pot? Do you old timers remember Trish (littlebit)? Trish was John's assistant for a for a few years when he owned GoneGambling. Trish's cooking was down-home-mom's-Southern cookin' style. She used to talk about dinners she made, easy cornbread recipes and such... always made my mouth water.

One thing Trish would do was host chat. Every Sunday I'd grab my cup of coffee and head off to the chat room to 'have coffee' with Trish and the gang. During chat Trish would, as she put it, toddle off to go fill up her coffee cup... remarkable her timing was, because that's always when I'd be about ready for another cup myself and I would 'toddle' off to the kitchen to pour another cup too. Made me feel like I was sitting around the kitchen table with Trish and all my GG friends.

Trish even had a little website where she posted a lot of her recipes. The site is no longer there but I found an archive of that site where you can still find many of her recipes. It was called "Trish's Going Home" (formerly "My Front porch")

Thanks for the strole down memory lane with Trish, I still think of her often and miss her dearly. I still have a printed copy of an email Trish sent me with her delicious recipe for Pound Cake. Her recipes were so good. :)

Yes..

Yes..

I think of her often..the original GG Angel...she had a wicked sense of humor behind that innocent facade lol! You're always in our thoughts Trish!

Ps. There was nothing "Lilbit" about her heart tho' it was Golden!
I used to "sing" to her in chat.."she's a little bit country...she's a little bit rock n' roll!", lol!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

DEEDEE, thanks so much for the link to Trish's recipes. Just scrolling through some of them was a walk down memory lane to my younger days when multiple generations lived together in the same house. That's how I learned to cook as a child - watching my Granny, my Mom & assorted aunts all working together to make amazing meals and desserts FROM SCRATCH. Someone always gave me a task to do and as I was reading through Trish's collection I remembered that by the time I was 7 or 8, I could completely peel an apple in one long strip! I'd forgotten how proud I was of that accomplishment. Thanks for the nudge, Dee (& Trish!) I think I'll go throw a pan of cornbread together...

hugs, Lisa (kali)

PS: This may be just because I'm hungry but do you think maybe anyone might be interested in submitting a favorite recipe or two towards a bona-fide GG members cookbook?

:thumbsup:I think you have a good idea kalitra,
Why don't you start a recipe collection thread in the "let's chat" forum?
You could call it "What's For Dinner"?
