I'm a happy person, love people, love life and living it to the fullest. I love fishing, gardening and cooking for family and friends for get together or intimate occasions. I love Thai, Sichuan, Indian, Mexican, anything with lots of flavor. Like to use a lot of different ingredients. My mother is a good cook, however not as experimental as I am. I have some recipes of hers that I use, but mostly rely on my own recipe search for new and tasty dishes. I believe that I am able to turnout a tastier Sichuan meal then found at some local restuarants, no longer have to order them out. Baking sweets is not my forte, last sweet bread was about 5 pounds heavy, uncooked in the middle...not good.
