Cookie where have you been?

HI, I sure been missing you here and am so glad you're back!!! :) How have you been? I will bet you're busy giving everyone their summer hair-do's!!! What good dinners have you prepared lately? Have you been using the grill much yet this summer? We have been a little, and now that it is hot I have even been using the burner on the grill outside to do my deep frying! I hate frying inside the house. It just works out easier for clean-up and all if I fry outside.

Good to have you back, Cathy
