The twins have arrived!
My cousin Laurie had twin girls today, Ava and Audrey, 6lbs/15oz and about 4lbs. All are doing well.

Congrats to Greg and Laurie!

To my Cox family (or whomever) I am wrapping up the recipe book, but since it has taken me forever I am sure that you all have cooked up some good meals while I was putting it all together. Please if you have anything you want to add you have two weeks to get them in. Let’s make this the best cookbook ever!

I also will be giving you proof to edit Thanksgiving week since I keystroked each recipe.

If you have any questions let me know.

Send new recipes via e-mail.

Last night was an amazing moment in American history. The first time in my adult life I felt a sense of patriotism. This is my America and I am so proud of my generation. Yep, it is that simple, I am proud.

This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can.
