dustytoes, Thank you, and yes it was a lot of fun. I imagine you have some very good art in you should the opportunity arise. Nowadays most art is digitally created losing something in translation.

katlem2 - No, I haven't considered illustrating pictures for my cookbook. I thought about trying to find a few line drawings for the print book, but not the ebook. I'll think about it, but first need to get the book finished, then see if I can ...

Look after your skin! Women AND Men
