I love to entertain. Every weekend we have people over and my fiance and I select a menu and a wine pairing. We prepare the meal together, it's a new hobby of ours together. For years I've prepared food to sustain life, but for the first time I feel confident enough to say that I would be comfortable preparing a meal for anyone (with the assitance of allrecipes.com and my calming sous chef fiance by my side).

My cooking tragedies
I had someone over for a date years ago and set an oven mitt on fire, thankfully he had his back turned. Many burns, cuts, bandaged fingers, misplanned events, like stirring the marshmellows into the fudge and realizing that I didn't have an aluminum foil covered dish waiting.
