I found you commenting on Frank Fariello's site. I use a walker and was drawn to your comments about cooking despite using a wheelchair. Will be grateful for your insights. I too cook more and more one pot meals. I am looking forward to following you. Do you have a Facebook Page as well? Joann Ianniello

Disabled, but still cooking - you and me both! I have used a wheelchair for 20+ years now, but I still love to cook. It just requires some adaptations. Check out my blog at www.ez2use.biz. I share easy recipes and how I make them work for me, along with my reflections on life. I am so excited that I found your site! Happy New Year!

I'm loving this...real people to learn from and new friends...Trish

I have posted a link to my Blog post titled "Wheelchair in the Kitchen" on my Group page, called "Disabled, but still Cooking".

Hi Linda Maribeth here glad to see you on CES. I My hubby Joe is from NC i have had THE worst time finding a red velvet cake he thinks is like home any way you can help me out here i will prob have a ton of questions for you on some good Carolina food he will like any help is appreciated i think it is great you do so much cooking and don't let little things stop you YOU GO GIRL!!! Best Wishes-MBC

Linda - we grow yucca at the farm. They are are very hardy plant and make a good barrier and interesting landscape addition, even if this time of year the deer nibble a bit at the spikey leaves (they are too fiberous for deer to destroy). But, since they grow bountifully from the roots, putting up new plants every year, they are also a great food source. We like to peel the root, much like a carrot or parsnip, and make chips out of them, frying them in hot corn oil. They are sweet and make a simply outstanding substitute for a potato chip, which, of course, makes for a great garnish. So slice them on a mandoline, or cut them thin and fry and enjoy them! best wishes - Amos

Looking great, Linda! The recipes are growing and the response should be heartening.

I am addicted to main dish cupcakes now! Added one recipe!

Hi, Linda! I'm here, but I can't figure out how to "friend" you. Maybe someone can tell me how to do it. I do find this site a little hard to understand, and find the things I want. Don't know if it is me or what. Hope it gets better with practice, if my energy stays up enough (dang that Polio Polio fatigue!). I am putting my family recipes on a page, too,,,not sure how to share it with you and the gang, Yours is coming along nicely...Jann

Great news, Linda! I will do as you suggest and am following your new group and I think most of us have recipes that you can use. If you get any recipe that you feel is in need of modification, improvement or deletion, do the right thing for your group. I suggest you send a message to Frank Fariello. He has a number of groups - all quite excellent, in my opinion - but he has one group for authentic Italian recipes that he wants/trys to strictly monitor to prevent "un-authentic" or seriously corrupted recipes from creeping into his collection. Frank may be able to better advise you regarding how you can keep an eye on any contributions made to your DSC group. When you have time, please review all my recipes and determine which ones might be good for you and I will transfer those to your group, which may help build your following. And try to get a decent photo of everything you do, both for visual interest by viewers and to 'sweeten' your site. Let me know how it goes & best wishes! - Amos
