Why "The 2500 Mile Cookbook," you ask? Well, here's the whole story...

Cynthia and I met at a revival at church on June 23, 1991 (has it really been that long? wow...). I remember the date because that's the night I was saved. Cynthia walked right up to me at church that night, looked me straight in the eye, and said "Hi!" She wrote in my senior yearbook that I gave her one heck of a look, but we became best friends pretty quickly. We lived about a hop, skip, jump and maybe a short jog away from each other. It seems like we've known each other forever and ever. Now, though, we live far away from each other. And since my sister has moved far away in the other direction on the U.S. map, we're all over the place. It is a 2500 mile trip from Cynthia's house to Kim's house , with a stop here in between to visit me, my mom, and Cynthia's parents. So "The 2500 Mile Cookbook" has a very special meaning to all of us because we don't get to see each other that often any more. But still, the friendship is strong and won't ever change just because of something piddly like a few thousand miles.
