One year for Christmas I created a cookbook of "Flynn Family Recipes" for the whole family. My nieces are especially thankful to have this book. It's filled with more than recipes for them. It's filled with memories. Thanks for sharing!Catherinehttp://readingtothecore.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699397659689455615.post-90294919791267388712014-03-19T22:53:13.543-04:002014-03-19T22:53:13.543-04:00A comfort memory.

Not just because it chronicles the making of this special food, but it details a very special relationship you had with your mother-in-law. How lucky you were to have such a close and loving relationship with her. I'm sorry she isn't around to cook with you, listen to you, and spend time with her grandkids. I can tell you miss her deeply.<br /><br />How would you feel about me featuring this slice of life story in my daily "be inspired" section of the slice of life post? Please email me (stacey{at}staceyshubitz{dot}com) by Sat., 3/22 if that'd be okay with you.
