I apologize for the lateness of this post. Life has been crazy, and I'm just now getting to this.

My Secret Santa saw that I love to bake when I have the time. I'm a professional artist, and I don't always know what to make my family at the end of the day. They were thoughtful and sent me a series of Time Life cooking books from the last 1970's-early 1980's. I got these in 4 different boxes. Each time the UPS man knocked on my door, it made my day.

As our son is finishing college soon, I am passing on this wonderful series of cookbooks to him for his new apartment. These books are not only filled with recipes, but also have detailed instructions/photos on how to prepare meats, knead bread, create sauces, and so much more.

Thank you so much Secret Santa for your thoughtful gifts. They will be used and appreciated :)
