Techie by trade, but raised to know my way around the kitchen. Not creative enough to create new recipes, I am bit of a tweaker; I rarely make a recipe as written. Married my husband Jan '06. Have two teenage stepsons that can be a royal pain to cook for but have no problem saying "Which one?" when someone calls and asks for their dad ... Thai. Can't get enough; the Zen of all that chopping... Bacon and onions. I always knew that if mom was cooking up bacon and onions, something good was in the works! In my early 20's, serving a 5 course meal for 12 for my parents anniversary. LOL too many! But that's how we learn!
