MY CULINARY BACKGROUND WAS BRED BY THE TOUGHEST CRITICS....MY FAMILY! DEFINITELY A HOME COOK WHO LIKES TO TRY NEW THINGS AND GET CREATIVE. SOMETIMES IT WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN’T!! WHEN I WAS A YOUNG GIRL, MY MOTHER TRIED HER BEST TO TEACH ME COOKING SKILLS TO NO AVAIL. I TOLD HER WHEN I GROW UP I WAS GOING TO MARRY SOMEONE WHO TOOK ME OUT FOR DINNER ALL THE TIME. HA! WAS I WRONG! I CERTAINLY MISSED OUT ON LEARNING SOME GREAT THINGS...GUESS MY LOVE OF COOKING WAS JUST DELAYED A BIT BECAUSE NOW IT IS SO FUN TO CREATE AND EAT!! NOW THE TEACHING GOES ON WITH MY GRANDCHILDREN BY MY SIDE. WHO WOULDA THUNK!!!
