Third time's a charm

So I've changed the name of this blog three times now, and I think this one is it. I am all about the food, and the other names just didn't do it for me.

If I ever get any digital pix worth sharing I'll jazz up the place. It doesn't appear anyone's looking at this (or if they are, they're not posting any comments) so maybe that will attract som readers. Hopefully I'll get a digital camera for Christmas and will be free to snap and download photos at my leisure. Or at least when I'm not doing anything at work. Which is often.

My mom got receipes from my cousin that will soon transport me back to my childhood. There were two foods that were nearly always present at family gatherings involving my dad's siblings: popcorn balls and pecan tarts.

I know what you're thinking: 'What the hell can be so good about popcorn balls?" They are sticky, chewy and wonderfully sweet. That's all I can say. I'm sure mine won't taste as good as my aunt's, but I'll do my best. The pecan tarts are the bomb as well. Now that I see the receipe I know why I liked them so much: there's cream cheese in the crust! What could be better?
