    Down At My Place Sweets Rule - Roderick Garner Sr

    INTRODUCTION

    Early in my childhood I noticed that I was drawn to the kitchen. From the time I was a little boy, I always enjoyed eating sweet desserts. I’m not sure if it was the sugar I was eating I enjoyed or it was the product that was made. I just enjoyed eating tasty sweets. The waffles with fresh fruit at breakfast. Cookies at snack time. Nutty sweet breads, buttery cakes or brownies attention lunch time. Sweet tasting pies or mouth watering fruit cobblers at dinner time.

    One of my biggest thrills with my grandmother Lena as a little boy came when I was about four years old. I walked into the kitchen to watch her cook breakfast. She asked me if I wanted to stir the pancake batter. Gleefully, I said yes. Grandma Lena picked me up and sat me on the seat of a tall stool next to kitchen counter. Stirring pancake batter with the big spoon with my little hands was so exciting. I was helping my grandma make pancakes, my favorite breakfast meal. Grandma Lena looked at me with a delightful smile. Grand-ma’s heart warming smile sparked a fire deep within me to be a baker just like Grandma. Time spent in the kitchen with my grandmother changed my life forever.

    Grandma Lena was a fabulous baker of all kinds of desserts. I watched her bake so many desserts without using a recipe book. I was fascinated how she could bake desserts this way. Grandma Lena’s personal attention to me and her verbal guidance while baking deserts will always be deeply entrenched in my heart. I praise the Lord Jesus Christ for my grandmother.

    For decades our family, friends and I enjoyed eating Grandma Lena’s delicious desserts. I am forever grateful for her dedication and joyful love she gave to her God given talent in the kitchen.

    My experiences as a child and adolescent led me to write this book of dessert recipes to honor my grandmother. Grandma Lena was a great blessing to me. This book is dedicated to her. I hope these recipes bring enjoyment to all who read and bake them. Enjoy.
