Personal Notes:
The Times Picayune at one time had a cookbook contest. It came in the paper every Easter Sunday. I won the bread category one year.
Which was a lot of fun.
Then, I was watching the Home Show (which is no longer on) . They were asking for Home Cooks to send in a recipe..
Sent in the recipe and two days later my daughter Mary Dixie and are in LA on the show! It was a blast!
