This book is dedicated to my 15-year-old son, Sam, cursed with the father's too-large feet but blessed with a heart of gold. Thanks for all the cooking advice you've offered me, solicited or otherwise, over the years. Now it's my turn.

1. "Tons of snowboarding" may not look as good on the "other interests" section of your college application as you might hope.
2. Cars, gas, and insurance cost more than you make in a couple of weekends.
3. That shorthand u use in ur emails is fine 4 ur buds, but i like regulr english. so clean it up, bub.
   
4. Unless you plan to become a plumber, I wish you'd reconsider the location of your waist.
5. I will start to look a little smarter as you start to look a little older. Promise.

With love,

Your father

Here I go again, expressing my gratitude to those who have extended a helping hand in the writing of this book, as well as othersmy supporting cast of characterswhose ongoing love, employment, and tolerance have helped make this possible. They include: Cindy Littlefield, at FamilyFun magazine, with whom I've had the pleasure of working on a regular basis for quite a few years now. Also at FamilyFun, Jon Adolph, as well as David Sokol at Disney Magazine, FamilyFun's sister publication. I also wish to thank a number of other editors who, despite my regular whining about deadline extensions, have kept me in their good graces: Kristine Kidd, Barbara Fairchild, and Sarah Tenaglia at Bon Apptit, Georgia Orcutt, formerly of Yankee; Patsy Jamieson of Eating Well; Jenny Rosenstrach at Real Simple; and John Riha, Nancy Wall Hopkins, and Sandra Mosley at Better Homes and Gardens. My agent, Meg Ruley, of the Jane Rotrosen Agency, has done a stellar job of hawking mywriting wares for some fifteen years now. Thank you, Meg. Thanks, too, to Don Cleary of the Jane Rotrosen Agency.

And, of course, to Barbara Jatkola, my tireless copyeditor.

To my children, Ben, Tess, Ali, and Sam; know that I'm tremendously proud to be your father; my parents, Warren and Muriel, who taught me what pie making is all about; and my siblings, Joe, Barb, Tom, Bill, Joanne, and Mary, and their wonderful families. A fellow could not have grown up with a better bunch. Many thanks, too, to my stepson, Bryan Moss, who sampled most everything in these pages, but wishes they had all been pumpkin.
