I like to watch commercials.
Which is a good thing, since
it seems that most of your favor-
ite TV shows are mostly adver-
tisements.
But I have noticed a sad
change. The sign in a caf6 win-
dow that said "home cooking"
was a plus and you would want
to eat there as commercial food
was not what most people were
looking for. Now in the commer-
cials they advertise that the
canned soup is your favorite res-
taurant soup -- not what your
grandmother made.
This makes me little sad.
Frankly, I have not been that im-
pressed with soup from restau-
rants unless it was homemade.
Here in our community We are
in a mother lode of great cooks.
We have some ladies in Coman-
che County that I would put up
against any famous restaurant.
One of the greatest compliments
that I ever get is when someone
asks for a recipe. The only thing
is that most of the time mine is
not original; they are some that
someone else was gracious
enough to give to me.
I have a couple of Bob
Pierce's recipes. He was one of

pleasure to work with. It gives
you a nice feeling when you are
making something special and
you remember that person. Bob
and I cooked at the Christian
Church many times. Bob always
said what he thought.
I have been accused of put-
ting way to much thought in
food.
When we go on vacation I like
to plan our trip by meals and
where we are going to eat.
When we went to Jennifer's
wedding, back in 2003, on the
way home I wanted to go to a
restaurant where they advertise
the hand-thrown roll. I had been
thinking about it for days.
This particular eating estab-
lishment was in Springfield, Mo.
As most sportsmen know, there
is a Bass Pro Shop in Springfield
there, as well. So, on the way we
had discussed purchasing his
gufi and I was going to eat in a
neat place. I had my taste buds
all worked up for"Lamberts" and
Jeffwas determined to buy a gun.
By the time we got to Spring-
field it was getting late. We
drove up to Lamberts, and it was
packed out. The guys started to
whine that it would take to long
to get seated and they would not
have time to shop in the sports
store. So being the only girl in
the car, I was out voted.
Instead of eating in a restau-
rant with a fun atmosphere, they
made me eat at a sandwich shop
that was across the street. For
some ridiculous reason they
thought it almost the same thing.
Why, after all, I could see the
"Lamberts" building from where
I was sitting.
So, I thought that we could
shop at Walmart for firearms and
call it a great day! But then again
I was out voted, andwe went to
the sports store.
The men did not want to wait
to eat but they did not mind wait-
ing 45 minutes for someone to
help them with their purchase.
That place was so busy you
could not move without bump-
ing into someone.
I was not that impressed.
Now I am still waiting to go
back to Springfield -- and do
what I want to do.
