hey, My names alyssa (alisa) haha. Im from San Diego CA and currently live in nampa ID. crazy change let me tell you, but I luv it >.< I live her with my fiance(Joe)and its a perfect place to call home. youve got the city, mountains, rivers, and lakes....what more could you ask for. All though I miss something....oh yeah the BEACH! thats really the only thing wrong with this town. Other than that its pretty nice. Not to many people ( compairing to san diego) and some what more of a relaxed inviorment. Anyways, I 20 years old (so pretty much 2 quarters of a century...lol), I love hanging out with close friends,living life, oh yeah and cooking! whenever I get a chance Im baking or learning something new to making. Thats why I absolutly luv this website. It has everything you can emagine. Like persimen cookies! which Ive never heard of! I looked it up one time on this website, because Joe was telling me of the times his grandma used to make them when he was a little kid and I thought that I love baking oatmeal cookies! the aroma of the spices are amazing! Also, zucheni bread, peach cobler, bars, and pretty much anything I can get my hands on. what can I say... I love to bake! but dont get me wrong I love cooking meals too. one of my personal favorites is chili and corn bread. not to much of a big deal, but hey its good. I miss the times when I was little and my cousins and I would go to grandmas house and bake all kids of goodies. like peanut butter balls. my absolute favorite when I was little. uhhh....gotta think about that one...
