      From one Linda to another I really enjoyed your video. I make peanut butter fudge in the microwave. Don't remember if I use brown sugar. I like pecans in my chocolate or peanut butter fudge.. Looking forward to getting your book.

    Now, I want some, chicken ‘n’ dumplin’s, lol. I see that your, “Muddy Pond” video is at, 128k and still climbing, that shows you are really resonating with the viewers. People are hungry for this type of content, to see the ways and places that could fade away, only to be seen in a video.

    My family came out of Pike County and Grand Father was a miner in Ky, Va and WVa. My Grand Mother taught me that way of cooking. I understand your thoughts about cooking. You just want to make good wholesome food.
