Hi..my name is Arge or PureIce23 on here. I am 32 years old and I live in New Jersey with my husband and our boxer Ginger. We have a betta fish named Fred. The people at the pet store said he would only live about 3 to 4 months. That was back in October of 2006. I am happy to report that Fred is still swimming strong in his bowl. We have dubbed him "The fish that will not die". Not that I wish death on my fish or anything...I just think the story is kinda funny.
My husband and I were married on New Year's Eve of 2006 on the Jersey Shore. The wedding was a 3 day event. We totally lucked out with the weather...it was 63 degrees on our wedding day. It truly was a fairytale wedding and a dream come true. My husband is a volunteer firefighter. It is true what they say...the fire department becomes your second family. I am the vice president of the department's Ladies Auxiliary. I love it. We are now in the process of putting together a fundraiser cookbook. We have collected about 400 recipes..something I thought we would never do.
I have a huge crush on the actor Jonathan Tucker....boy next door type....you know how that goes, and Brian Urlacher...linebacker for the Chicago Bears. I always told my husband that if Brian were to knock on our door..I might have to run away with him....until I realized that Arge Urlacher sounds funny.
I am totally addicted to the Star Wars trilogy. My husband and our friends make fun of me all the time. I love 90's rock music. My current favorite song is " Love Remains the Same" by Gavin Rossdale. If you haven't heard it...check it out. It is a great song. I do not watch much TV but there are a few shows that I love...24 (Jack Bauer ROCKS!), Smallville (all girl's love a superhero), SVU, Fringe, House and Heroes. I love photography. I have an eBay store where I sell crafts and things that I make.
I obviously love cooking. My brother and I got that from my dad. I love creating recipes as well as trying new ones that I think sound interesting. My lastest creation is Spicy Smoky Macaroni and Cheese with Turkey Bacon.
Well..that is me in a nutshell. I will leave you with some pictures of my wedding.....

We had a beta fish that lived forever too! I used to think he liked dirty water because we were not always good at getting it cleaned out in a timely manner. I love the Jersey shore and would go every year as a kid. I look for more posts:) Don't fret about not posting your recipes. I have several really good ones that they didn't want either. I just figure it is there loss:) I look for your recipe tomorrow. BTW, what are the ones they didn't take? Post them too.

I think they do like dirty water because we don't clean his bowl like we are supposed to and he does just fine LOL!!

About Me 
Well let's see...I was born and raised in Queens, NY. I now live in New Jersey with my husband and our furbaby Ginger. My husband and I were married on New Year's Eve of 2006. I am passionate about cooking...I love it! I love creating dish's, trying new recipes, cooking for people. My parents owned a restaurant so that is where I developed my love for cooking. I just finished writing a cookbook of family recipes. It came out so fantastic..my dad was even impressed. It was a wonderful experience collecting all the recipes from my aunts, mom, dad and my brother.
My favorite things to cook
I love pasta so any pasta recipe.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love my dad's cooking! He is Greek and is such a fantastic cook. It's great because he never uses recipes, he just knows how to make things.
My cooking triumphs
My first Thanksgiving dinner! I had never made a turkey before so I was very nervous. I cooked for 6 people..my family and my husband...it came out great!
My cooking tragedies
I don't have any.......yet! =)
