Chef Bailey


Got a call from George and Willa yesterday, they were cooking a ham and thought they would cook one for us too.  You know the Adams family and pork, never, ever will we turn down a fine pork dinner. And what a fine dinner it turned out to be.

We've been friends with George and Willa for a long time and George's dad, Harold, has been one of our best buddies.  Never a day goes by that we don't email or talk by phone.  That Harold is something else, and the whole family has been a blessing to us.

We have spent many hours together holding down rocking chairs at their fine beach cottage over looking the Atlantic. George and John love deep sea fishing together and seems George always manages to work in a trip or two when we are down on the coast during our summer vacation. Their daughter Lauren, was married in a beautiful wedding this past summer at the beach, and their son Rhett, just got engaged to Ellen, a wonderful young lady.  Life is good for their family.

George and Willa arrived a while later with a beautiful ham, asparagus, potato salad, and a freshly made lemon pie.  The pie was still so warm that when I put it on the pie server with the glass lid, it steamed up and had to take the top off so the pie could cool properly.  Oh my, it did smell so lemony and wonderful.  See that big meringue pie in the photo above?



Are you hungry yet?  Thank you George and Willa!  You have outdone yourselves again.

You could start your own tv show on the food network and just call it, friends who can cook stopping by. .

Susan - you are so right. John and I both thought about that too. If we had friends that couldn't cook, we wouldn't be eating SO much, but the food has been wonderful. Not a single dish that anyone would turn down, and it is food that has the amazing ability to CALL you to the fridge to eat more!
