>I’ve thought about posting a recipe each week, Scribbit style. When school is not in session I bake and cook a lot more, so I’ll have more to share very soon. As the garden grows, I’ll have recipes that deal in the fresh ingredients of my backyard, too.

There. That decision’s made. Every Tuesday, a recipe. Here goes:

When we got married, my MIL gave me this book so we could record our favorite family recipes all in one place. Husband and I have done that. The cover has fallen off, but the pages still contain Husband’s guacamole, Great-Grandma Frances’ German potato salad, and much, much more. On my way to finding something else, I came across this.

The young La Petite wrote this. She must have observed me or Husband writing in the family recipe collection and decided that she should do the same. It has all of her favorite letters from the early days (H, M, Q), and it’s grouped (sort of) like words. I don’t have a clear memory of watching her writing this little piece, but it is indeed priceless.

What does it make? No one knows, not even La Petite herself, but it probably tastes like chicken.
