If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it.-- Margaret Fuller

One thing I love to do is teach people new things.  I really enjoy when I can show someone how to do something ~ the pleasure comes from being able to take something that I know and giving that to someone else so that they understand and can go on to do something they didn't understand before.  I think this is why I love consulting and writing because I can give people something they need to go on.  Whether it is inspiration or knowledge, I enjoy imparting knowledge to people. 

I also love to cook and take pictures and paint : )  I love it when my family comes over and eats my food.  My sister loves the sausage gravy and biscuits.  Last time I made gravy and biscuits for my family, I made a whole pan with about 4 pounds of sausage and it was gone ~ there were 12 people here eating : ) ~  I used my 15 inch cast iron skillet (what I use for everything ~ whether it is frying chicken or grilling steaks ).  There are only a few things that I use a lot ~ my Cuisinart, my cast iron skillets and my baking stones.

Today enjoy some homemade pancakes.  When was the last time you had homemade pancakes?  My family loves these ~ you can add fresh or frozen fruit to these pancakes.  Just make sure that you drain whatever you use really well.  If you are using frozen fruit, make sure it is thawed and well drained otherwise, it will water down your pancakes and make them soggy.  You don't want soggy pancakes : )

Happy Tuesday ! !
