Life at the Lazy L
LazyLJack:
Hey all,
Ennis and I are excited about this holiday forum. Christmas is a special time at the LazyL and we always do it in a big way. Ever since my mama came to visit us for our first Christmas together in 1976, we've been hooked on the holiday.
Anyway, I thought it would be fun to share Christmas at the LazyL with all of you...and you can share with us. I'll be posting updates about what we're doing...maybe some pictures. You can do the same. Maybe send Christmas greetings, pictures, recipes, gift ideas? Whatever, I think we can have fun.
Take good care, everyone. I look forward to hearing from you!

Oh, I have a Christmas wish, if anyone wants to pass it on to Ennis (hint, hint)...this year the 75th anniversary edition of the Joy of Cooking comes out. Wow! I am still using the same old one that was in the house when we moved in...I think it was publshed just after World War II (1946).
If you look at this picture, mine is the third one up from the bottom.
I really think I deserve a new one, don't you? I just realized that my cookbook is practically as old as me!

Hello Jack! :D
Greetings from Alberta, Canada!
It is absolutely lovely to see you here!
I have a Joy of Cooking cookbook meself, it is not the latest edition but it is not as old as yours either. ;)
Can you convince Ennis to come by here and post a message sometime?
I know he doesn't like hanging out on the internet much, but could you try to convince him to come leave a message here?
pleeeeeeeeease? ;D
I am looking forward to your updates and pictures! Love to Ennis.

I just have one question - when did you learn to cook, Jack? I thought you couldn't cook worth a damn but were pretty good with a can opener (although, I must admit, I always thought you were saying that in a completely tongue-in-cheek manner, so to speak, and that your potato-peeling technique is *way* too polished for someone who doesn't understand it at all).
OK, two questions. Do you like pecan pie?

I got serious about learing to cook in the summer of 1976 when Ennis and I ranched up together at the LazyL. That old copy of the Joy of Cooking was my bible that summer. Most everything I tried came out great except for the infamous Crab Mongol. (I'll bet you dollars to donuts that that recipe is not in the new cookbook!).
That first Christmas, sort of as a joke, Ennis gave me a copy of The Fannie Farmer Cookbook . It has turned into a tradition and every year he gives me a new cookbook. After 30 years, I have quite a collection. One of my most prized cookbooks is an autographed copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking, signed by Julia Child, herself! Of course, even though I have the book, I have not mastered the art of French cooking...in fact, I would say I am a miserable failure. Although I can make a quick and easy simple cheese souffle.
As for pecan pie, of course I like it! Is there someone on this planet who doesn't?
