Married, and in my spare time love to try to cook new things. This year, my goal is to have my own herb garden, as there is nothing better than fresh herbs. cookies, prepare salads, standard meat and potatoes and fish. Traditional Thanksgiving Day meal with certain recipies that my family has passed down over the years. I love to tweak a recipes!!! I have created some great combinations just playing around with spices. I just can't seem to make GREAT gravy!! No matter how I try, it comes out lumpy, too thick, too thin. This is my goal for this year is to make adequate gravies and sauces.
