Freeform, about Gennyfer
Gennyfer Hanvey lives in Portland. She is a mother of five children living in an ultra-blended family of 9 that includes a nephew, making the kids outnumber the adults 2 to 1 at home. She has decided to count the pets as adults to even the odds. Gennyfer did freelance tech-support for many years but is currently staying at home, training to be a ringmaster in a three ring circus. While juggling many schedules and plumbing the depths of how unsuited she is to domestic servitude, she is writing to ascertain if an Author is finally that elusive thing she is to be when she grows up.

Raye says,
Thanks Genmom. The only downside to relish is that the recipes are not particularly lowfat, even though they are wholesome for the most part. I am having a party in July, perhaps I will save the brownies (among other relish recipes that I have a feeling I would snork) for then. Did you try the zucchini and summer squash gratin from last week's menu (it was a side dish for the mexican chicken)? It is simply divine! I can't thank you enough for the lead on this site.....
