I'm retired. I live with my beautiful wife whom I met in the sixth grade. We have four wonderful children, five great grandchildren, two greater-great children. One of my hobbies is woodworking. My wife, Linda, and I like to try out new restaurants and then go home and see if we can duplicate or make better a recipe. Beef Tenderloin, thin crisp around the edges pancakes, meat loaf, Texas style chili, anything with chicken, green beans, King Ranch casserole, Prune cake at Thanksgiving and Christmas, tamales at Christmas, Brined Turkey and all types of dressings, Crab Cakes, Trout, Redfish, chicken spaghetti,
