    There's lots of wisdom in the recipes here. I'll try to add to it now I've joined Seniors.
    Is it acceptable to put a recipe lens on a Rocketmoms template here?

A few words about the cookbook compiler

...a grandma living in Northern California.

I sort of revel in being a senior squid. I love my gray hair and being retired. I also love working here on Squidoo.. and I love cooking, so this is a natural thing for me - to have a little senior squids cookbook ...
