Cookbook

Finally after almost a year our Priscilla Circle cookbook is

printed and up for sale. I would have never guessed that

something simple as a cookbook could be so complicated!

I learned some really good lessons doing this venture.

In case you don't know the Priscilla Circle is a woman's

church group that prepares luncheons for families who have

loved ones that have passed on. Dishes to pass are made on

a volunteer basis and then it is served by the group after the

service. We serve and clean up, the family doesn't have to do

anything but purchase the meat for sandwiches. Its really

a beautiful thing to watch...fellowship for grieving families is

so very important. By the time the luncheon is over, tears

are turned into smiles and laughter...its a beautiful thing.

The Circle had extra money left over so we were going to use it

to help purchase new altar pieces. But our little bit wasn't

going to hardly touch the cost of custom work. So, that being

said, the big idea was brought up that we should do a cookbook

using our recipes and other potluck favorites. I think it was

partly my idea to get it started...I must of been in a great mood

that day. And everyone was more than happy to let me do it!

Did I mention that I was a procrastinator? So to make a long

story short. It took three of us forever to type it, and five

of us to proof it. It didn't make it for Mother's Day or Christmas.

But by gosh its here now and it was worth all the hassle. I am

learning not to be so ready to volunteer for things, unless I

think it through first! But wait, I want to say that the company that

did the books was the best....Morris Press Cookbooks. They are

very professional and the cost was unbelievable.
