When my son and daughter were four and six, I began raising them alone. Many fun stories. I also became the mother and did all the cleaning, and cooking. Some of the best times of my life and hence the title of the book. My wife kept pushing me to write the stories I always tell people and my first short story, "Charge It," won a contest. I continued and have completed 54 short stories with a hundred and fifty more in the works. The Single Male Parents' Cookbook, is a delightful combination of food and humor, two subjects everyone will enjoy. As a single parent I raised my children from the time they were four and six, and soon became an expert in the kitchen. My cooking must have been good because both are adults now and still alive, which only attests to culinary skills . . . or luck The Single Male Parents' Cookbook combines recipes with humorous anecdotes of things that did and didn't work in the kitchen (and in my life ). Each recipe is followed with a short story of me as a child or that of my son and daughter. There are some fun cooking ideas along with some that were not so good, and even a few you don't ever want to try at home Everything from my Friday Night Special to the crazy Motel Doggy (the electric hotdog). Each recipe is followed by a short story about my childhood antics or raising my children. Not everything always ran smoothly. There was that time my boiled eggs blew up all over the ceiling. Oh, and that grease fire. Don't ever pour water on a grease fire But they say experience is the best teacher, and they are right. It wasn't always easy in those years, but I managed to retain my sense of humor. I heard George Carlin say that although he's over sixty, he never stopped being ten. That describes me perfectly. In fact, I've been ten six times over, and my life is as fun as ever. Don't let the cookbook confuse you. I'm just your Average Joe; a normal type of guy. Well, maybe except for the time I got married at midnight in a jail in Mexico. But that has nothing to do with cooking. Neither does the time I almost got kidnapped in the mountains of Colombia when I met my second wife. Just an average guy from Texas. It is fun to reminisce and immensely gratifying to see the story. Although they are old stories to me they seem to make people laugh. It's been a real delight to bring these stories back to life
