I am a stained glass artisan in Southern California. I sell my jewelry, suncatchers, jewelry boxes and windows throughout the State of California. Comfort Food! Soul Food! Southern Food and lots of BBQ and smoked meats! We have a large family and all the brothers, sisters, kids and nieces and nephews...and all our "volunteer" kids (kids, our kids grew up with and we have "adopted" :) come together for "baking days", "pasta days" "bread days" "soup days"....we bring our different ingredients together along with our new recipes and have a great day of food and fellowship! My summer BBQ's in the back yard are loved by everyone who comes.... Not really! I stay away from things that I don't trust....like oysters....have tried them, grilled, steamed, smoked....you name it...and I don't like them....so I just stay away from things like that and stick with what my taste buds like.....
