RAMS REACH FINAL FOUR! WE ARE HOOPSTOWN!

The celebration for the 400th anniversary of Richmond was good, but not this good! Richmond's Mayor Dwight Jones was quoted in the Richmond Times Dispatch's biggest and most special section ever: "VCU advancing to the Final Four is the stuff dreams are made of! This is a team of players who believe in each other, a coach who believes in the team, and a city that believes in dreams coming true... VCU is putting Richmond on the map like never before and we'll see the nation at the Final Four." This is a true story of an underdog, a Cinderella defeating major powerhouses. Same thing with food. Move over Martha Stewart, Rachael Ray, Jamie Oliver. You have powerful coverage that we little, everyday cooks don't get. We don't always cook in the most beautiful kitchens, but we have recipes and good, satisfying meal ideas that help our family and friends celebrate life on a daily basis. So Esther made home-made potato soup for our church supper yesterday and Rebecca brought a special apple crisp made from apples in her backyard. Umm-good. I will meet you Saturday at the Seigel Center to watch VCU-Butler. I plan to fix double decker turkey, havarti cheese, red pepper and bacon club sandwiches. How about becoming a dedicated reader of this blog in which I try to encourage you to celebrate life with your own home-cooked food. DON'T STOP BELIEVIN'...You too can cook with the best of them. Start coping by cooping Hoopstown! LET'S GO V-C-U!!!
