Dear Family, 

It has been eight years since Charlotte Erickson's passing. As you know, my mom was 
a great cook. Upon her death her handwritten recipes were entrusted to me. In return, 
I promised to preserve and share them with the family. For years, I searched for the best 
way to achieve this to no avail. Finally, last February, I found the perfect medium at 
www.tastebook.com. Open the cookbook and you will see Charlotte's handwritten 
recipes, grease stains and all, next to the typed entry. Sadly, I was unable to preserve the 
wonderful smells coming from her kitchen. It is now up to you to recreate those won- 
derful tastes and irresistible smells. 

Enjoy! 

Kay 

(sibling, cousin, mother, aunt) 

P.S. I want to thank my sister Judy for her loving support and hours of help to complete 
the project.
