I don't remember much about the time I lived in Michigan since seven years after I was born in Flint Osteopath Hospital, my parents decided to uproot the family and move to Phoenix, Arizona.

What memories I do still retain resemble a sketchy collage of black and white pictures made up of school events, childhood friends, and visions of places where we had lived. They are the memories that seemed very important to a seven year old boy at the time. Now even those musings are fading. Lately the only firm recollections that are left to me are the ones I have when I think about the times spent at my Grandparent's farm in the rural municipality of Burton Township.

I still remember the eager anticipation I felt each time my parents drove us along the dirt road that lead to the long driveway which took us to the Duffy farmhouse. I couldn't wait to get out and play in the snow or pick apples from the orchard that made up the front yard. What I did depended on what season it was at that moment.

No matter what the time of year it was, though, my Grandparent's house was usually filled with the smells of my Grandma's wonderful cooking or baking. I remember Grandma always having an overstuffed recipe box with not a cookbook in sight. Many of the recipes she had were ones that were passed down to her from my Great-grandmother who, in turn, had acquired them from her mother.

Grandma added to her hand-me-down collection by swapping recipes with her neighbors and her friends. Often times these recipes didn't have any particular name as they were the sole creation of the people who gave them to my Grandma. So, she normally just referred to them by her friend's names.

A while back, after my grandma passed on, I inherited her recipes which I took and assembled into a cook book for distribution among my family. The cook book was later published by a small press.

Now I wanted to share some of these recipes with the rest of the world, but only if it could be done with little fiscal impact on those who wanted to sample some of her great food.

So, in my latest publication on Amazon.com Shorts, you can get 20 of her recipes for just .49 cents (yes, less than a Kennedy half dollar).

Trust me, a bargain never tasted so good!
