Married to my high school sweetheart for over 25 years now and going strong with four childeren, two girls 20 and 18 and two boys 13 and 11. My Beautiful wife Jeanne came to me with a full assortment of baking skills her mother and grandmother provided her with. Our first dinners were baked chicken parts, blackend, but not because of spices ;) followed by an extravagent layer cake! I am a meat and potatoes kinda guy. Roasts, Ribs, Steaks really get me going with all of the starches that make those meals great. I have really increased my successes since getting a digital thermometer. Two recipies we cannot do without came from this site: Greek Style Rib Eyes and Asian Lamb! Wonderful Stuff! Thanksgiving must have Turnips! St. Patricks Day with Colcannon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colcannon and Fourth of July with Burgers and Foot Longs Romantic Friday Evening Dinners are always a hit at home. The kids eat their favorites pizza, mac N Cheese, or a tv dinner earlier and then we make a dinner together and crack a bottle of wine, light a couple of candles. Inevitably the kids are coming to see what we made for dessert :) Too many to list!!!!!!! But we keep getting back on the horse!
