I was not a big chocolate person growing up. I hear the gasps of astonishment but it's true.

{Huckleberry Pancakes}Some friends see food as nutrition while others are looking for comfort. We all have that friend who is indifferent to food and sometimes actually forgets to eat?

When I was a little girl, my dad would make popcorn as a special treat. He would cover the bottom of Mom's large Revere copper bottom saucepan with oil and yellow kernel popping corn.
