I'm 49 (really!) so this year's B-Day will be my last. I'm divorced, working professional and have 3 sons. My sons are now young men (I use that term somewhat loosely) because sometimes they turn 5 right in front of my eyes. All kidding aside, they are great , pretty much on their own (except when it's time to pay tuition) and I'm a very lucky person to have them in my life. My oldest son has special needs and still lives at home with me. Since I work full time I love my crock pot. On the weekends I like to experiment with different dishes I don't have time for during the week. I enjoy canning as well. We all love crab cakes, always make them for special dinners. ummmm, I guess I would say my beef wellington, although I think I have perfected my meatloaf recipe with a "secret" ingredient. a champagne punch I made for Christmas, it was horrible, gave everyone a tummy ache. A complete waste of good booze.....
