Welcome to Food for the Ages!

 

Hello from Lyons, Colorado, where I live with my 89-year-old mother, my husband John and our  18-year-old daughter Marie.  We recently sold our family home just 10 minutes west of Boulder, Colorado, and moved in with my mom while we “float” and decide what to do next living-space wise.

Yes, we moved in with her parents at age 56! We couldn’t talk her into moving in with us–all of her friends  are alive (something you start thinking about it this age, I guess but most of  her friends  are much younger)  and they  drop by here and make things pretty lively what with art class on Mondays for two hours, dinners with her fellow literary friends to catch up on their projects and whatever’s going on in the little 2,000 person town called Lyons.

Our daughter, Marie, just recently rejoined us to attend the local community college.It has been an education putting the four of us together in the same house and it’s working, and not without its challenges.  But more on this later!

For the ages is a food blog for you to use when you need the best recipes and need them now! And food for the ages is also for me so that I can put down my best favorite recipes and share them with you and impart some of my 35 years plus cooking experience with you.

It doesn’t matter what age we are, we all need to eat.  Food for the ages means sharing my best classic recipes that will last you through your life and will create pleased and happy eaters around you. *sound of forks and knives banging on the table in unison*
