Well hello out there to all you foodies in webland its me again writng about Love, TV show, Potato's, and etc. etc. I hope this finds all of you webbers out there full of love on this day. Do you remember your first and last love? Mine was a boy named Gayland Ladd, from Texas. He had a hit song called "Think About Me". It would of been when Band Stand was still on TV and teenagers watched it. A long time ago! Gayland helped me get ready for some recording tapes or demo's that I made in Pasadena, Texas, I wore a Red mini shirt dress with white go go boots. I thought I was HOT! I was with my long brown hair running down my back. I was in love with him for about three years or so I thought. Any who I got the recording contract but my father moved me away from Houston so he could keep control of me as he called it. Singing I was really great at and that was my real love. Any who that is water under the bridge. There are many different types of love, like puppy love, a happy love or even a sad love. I guess I've known them all like alot of people. There's love of your friends, which I enjoy very much, people, pets, food, and love of God. If I have learned one thing about love is that it can't always make you happy all of the time and you can't depend on someone else to make you happy, to me the only one that can make you happy is you. Any who lets talk about food. At this time in my life food makes me happy because with food I can pass on my love to other people, does that make sense? Well yesterday we made alot of people happy, about 286 of them. We did a dinner at Cedar Creek Church in Aiken. We served my home made Lasagna and Chicken Marsala and I was told it made everyone happy, at least we hope it did. Can you feel the love yet? Then today I taped my regular TV show called "Cooking With Madjon and Friends". I served up alot of love with some good old B.B.Q. Pork ribs, Potato's au gratin, Green Beans with Orster Sauce, Wheat Bread with my seasoned rub, and Butterfinger Cake. Any who we had alot of fun making up these recipes today. You may go watch the TV show by going to http://www.aikenstandard.com/ , ASTV 95. Am going to try and remember how I did the potato recipe for you all. I hope you enjoy it and give it a try. My mother used to make the best of this dish and she always made it when we had left over ham. Cooking this today made me feel close to her. Please read all of this recipe before you start to make the Potato's au gratin.
