Mid thirties married male who began cooking as an inexpensive way to meet girls in college (found one :). Grew from there into a curiosity about seasonings,spices and preparation methods. I then discover there were others out there, foodies, who loved to taste and try new things. I enjoy grilling, I got this from my father. I really like to try new ethnic foods and styles of cooking. My favorite comfort food is chicken pot pie. My mother used to make it and now I have improved it. Everyone who has ever tried it claims it is the best meal they have ever eaten. Of course it never turns out quite the same each time I make it. Exploding greenbean cassarole! NEVER put pyrex on a hot stove burner. Especially right before your ready to serve thanksgiving dinner.
