From a Duck Blind on Caddo Too

FROM A DUCK BLIND ON CADDO TOOINTRODUCTIONThis book, as well as From A Duck Blind On Caddo, is dedicated to my wife Anita, my daughter Autumn, and my son Trent. There are a couple of little angels, Phoenix and Scarlett, my beautiful granddaughters, that I also want to include.As in the first book these stories are from my heart and are considered by some as my finest work. Among my close friends, these are the ones that are most highly cherished. They are my humble offerings and are not intended to be any more than that. The settings of the stories were fabulous; my lack of knowledge, ability, and expression could not do them justice.Gosh, the stories were fun when living them and I hope all of you enjoy them as much as I do in sharing them with you now. I look back and wonder where in the world I got all the energy to pursue my dreams.The recipes are a collection of outstanding recipes that I gathered from all over the country, and they have already been scrutinized by some of the best connoisseurs a person could have ever been blessed to “run” with. There has always been an interest in recipes and cookbooks for me. Maybe it was instilled from growing up around wonderful cooks. To this day, it is amazing to pick up a beautiful cookbook and start thumbing through it, get to the end and think back that there was not one recipe in the whole book that appeared to be worth trying. Have you ever done the same?If the truth be known, this collection of recipes is far more valuable than the stories.Enjoy the reading and the cooking, and may God continue to bless us all.
