I recently ( March 18th 2012) lost my dad to non hodgkins lymphoma. I was angry to cause he was only 58, and the year and a half was painful hospital trips and false hopes ( as you can see the anger is still there). In my grief I turned to cooking which was always a passion and something we had liked to do together. Your videos and knowledge has helped me get threw a hard time in my life and I just thought that you should know! Thank you!creepyp1https://www.blogger.com/profile/18045031314268301332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-84491861995333312122011-08-16T18:52:32.591-04:002011-08-16T18:52:32.591-04:00Mikey was loved.

My beloved is 12 hours away from me for the next several years making his fortune in San Francisco. So while I cannot hold him physically right now, I will send this link to him. There is a gathering of friends this Thursday that he would usually come with me to. I think I will make a peanut butter pie...philogaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02570156509307983353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-1823491587945258852011-08-15T02:17:31.262-04:002011-08-15T02:17:31.262-04:00Thanks for sharing, Chef.
