I'm a disabled vet, single dad. I have two girls at home, ages 8 & 10. I live on my computer, read all the time and am trying to teach my girls how to cook. They are getting really good at helping out in the kitchen, planning menus and shopping for ingredients I love to stir fry. I also BBQ/smoke year around. I have been known to stand in knee deep snow, with a heavy duty military coat on to BBQ on New Year's Day. I lived in Korea for a long time and love their food. I cook bulgogi at least once a month. My girls love dried squid and I get it for them as a treat instead of candy. Seeing blond, blue eyed little girls munch on dried squid is a real treat. A baked Alaska that turned out perfect. A baked Alaska that didn't.
