What's All This, Then?

In a further attempt to automate my life, I'm uploading all my family recipes onto this site. I will also include other people's recipes as begged, stolen or borrowed, as well as links to favorite sites. There might even be the occasional photo. Check back later to find my family's not-so-secret barbecue sauce ingredients and other exciting tidbits.
