I usually stay OUT of the kitchen the first week I am home but then I start wanting something homecooked. I'll cook several big pots of something and put serving size containers in the freezer and sometime I can eat several times I am home, out of the freezer. I am a gravy lover, I crave GRAVY if I haven't had any in a few days, so I always have something covered in gravy in the freezer.

I hope to bake some stuff for gifts this year. (I LOVE baking) If I only get to bake a little bit, I want to bake something for the nice lady who mows my grass. She keeps my place looking so nice outside and it is the greatest feeling to come home to a nicely manicured lawn. Her and her husband are Christians and they know there are a lot of single ladies that live here and they said the Lord wants them to help us so they don't charge us nearly as much as they should and if you know anything about the south, you know hot steamy hot it is here in July and August. She washed down the outside of my house last spring and wouldn't charge me anything so I made her that wonderful Oreo desert and sent it to her... So I am baking some stuff for them for sure!
