RecipesIn the HP200LX that I carry with me all the time are some 150 recipes. This makes it handy when we are traveling in the Roadtrek, visiting friends and family, and even in the kitchen. I'll admit that I've never tried a number of them but there are a few I use repeatedly.
SoupI love good soup and will try it in almost any restaurant. This must be an inherited trait, my granddaughter Kristin is also addicted to soup.

My grandmother, Susie Came Passmore 1864-1956, was a good cook. Before I went up on Roderick Mountain Fire Lookout up in the Yaak country of Montana I hitch-hike down to Butte to spend a couple of days with her. We talked about many things, but her advice to me about cooking that I can remember was — biscuits, make them as moist as you can and still handle the dough; pie crust, on the other hand, make as dry as possible and still stick together. Her advice has stood me in good stead ever since. And I'd like to pass this tidbit on....
