About

I'm originally from GA now in NC.  I love to read and cook.  I have tons of cookbooks but can never find anything to cook.  The recipes either have ingredients that would require a trip to the specialty section of the grocery store or would have an ingredient I really didn't like.  Plus, some were just simply too complicated.  So I started creating my own recipes by taking from one and adding from another.  My recipes take cooking back to the basics using common ingredients with the results being very tasty and beautiful dishes.  I also offer ingredient changes to fit the cooks own taste.

Description

<p>When Jessica Bryant pesters her wealthy parents to allow her to have a dog as a pet, the answer is a resounding &quot;No&quot;; but they soon come to regret their decision when thier home is broken into one evening whilst they are out and their daughter kidnapped and held for ransom. The kidnappers, in the form of four seedy and incompetent characters wearing Disneyland-type masks, take her hostage and keep her incarcerated in a place from which there appears to be no escape. However, they reckon without the resourcefulness of our heroine, and the courage of a wonderful stray dog who comes to her aid and whom she names 'Murdo'. And so begins an exciting and humurous accounting of the couples' adventures together as they consistently foil and outwit the abductors whilst on the run together.<br /> This is a lovely story of the friendship between a girl and a dog, bringing out themes of responsibility, camaraderie, redemption, salvation and self-sacrifice. It includes some wonderful dialogue sequences as Jessica teaches her new four-legged friend how to communicate with her, with additional delightful conversations between the animals when a rabbit and a sparrow join forces with them in an effort to outwit the kidnappers and restore Jessica safely back to her parents' home. </p>
