I married an Englishman Feb 14, 2006- he's wonderful. Because of him I'm learning new cuisines such as Indian and English. I was born in a military family, but call Leavenworth, KS my hometown. I have one daughter of my own and one step-daughter. I started cooking at age 9. :) As of February 28,2008, I'm a grandmother of a gorgeous little girl. Anything NOT fried. Going more vegetarian, and making my hubby happy when I make some of his favorite dishes for the first time!
