I'm a dude that must eat. Therefore must cook. I live in the Southern city of Louisville, Ky that has a mostly Midwest flavor. My SO will not eat meat so most of my cooking revolves around seafood and non-meat dishes. I work and go to school (yes at my age), so point me to anything that is delicious, easy, and cheap. Meditteranean, North African, Middle Eastern, and Southern Soul. My family's country southern so my tradition lies in cast iron skillets and bacon grease. I don't have a family of own, but looking forward to making my own traditions. The perfect omelet. Planked salmon. Roasted asparagus. And I finally licked my grandmother's pork and bean casserole!!! French bread---any thing to do with baking.
