This isn't to be published, but just to let you know (or maybe more because I need to talk about it?). My sister died last night. I feel so sad; I miss her so much already. Her funeral will be on Wednesday (here in Oregon), but for some strange reason she requested to be buried in Provo. So we will be driving over the dangerous passes on Thursday and she will be buried in Utah on Friday afternoon. We have to drive back home on Saturday because my husband has to be back before Sunday.

I really am grateful that the cookbook was loaned to me in my time of need. I know it sounds stupid in light of all the weight we've carried over the last several weeks, but it made the moment easier - and memorable. I obviously hope to win the cookbook, but if I don't, I want your family to know how much it meant to me. Thank you so much. Mary

I am excited to comment! Just three weeks ago, my sister was diagnosed with brain cancer. The doctor gave her 2-4 weeks to live. I spent three weeks in the hospital with her, trying to do what I can to help her in this very difficult time. I finally returned home on November 25th, and I wasn't at all prepared to make a Thanksgiving feast for my husband and my children, much less for the thirty out of town guests who had come to see my sister before she passes! I called a friend of mine (who was out of town at the time), and I asked if she had any ideas. She told me to go to her home and get the green cookbook. She suggested that I find the Mom's Famous Chili Ghetti recipe. It wasn't turkey, but it was our Thanksgiving dinner this year. I'm grateful for the gift of that simple recipe, which will always hold significant memories for me and for my family. I guarantee that we won't forget the year we had chili-ghetti for Thanksgiving. I thumbed through the other recipes, but didn't have time to try any of them before I had to return the book to my friend, and return myself to the hospital. Because of the memories it holds for me, I'm hoping to get that cookbook for myself.
