Jack-of-all-trades, currently exploring the culinary arts I am a big fan of casseroles, stews, and all kinds of sauces. I love experimenting and improvising. My family is known for it's cooking. Recipes were passed from generation to generation, perfected by many skillful house cooks. The base of our family "cousine" derives from the mixed crowd that lived in my native town of Odessa - where Jewish, Greek, Ukrainian, Russian, Bolgarian, and Georgian cultures were thouroughly mixed up and created unique fusion of cousines - Odessan :). Hmmmmm.... I think they are all ahead... No tragedies, just lots and lots of drama. "We know drama" was stolen by TNT from me :)
