RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I'm a retired service man who took up cooking as a hobby, because I never really did any cooking before. Now I have the time and my wife loves the break. I've been collecting old family favorites (Irish father, German Mother). Hope to share them all as soon as I get them right. <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><a href=http://www.amazingcounter.com><img src=http://c7.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=1515899&c=4548010 border=0 alt=web site hit tracking /></a><a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/member/294624>You are Visitor Number</a></p>
