I'm a late bloomer. I graduated from college with an assocaites in my late 30's and a bachelor's in my early 40's. I was a stay at home mom until a few years ago and now I'm a test engineer for a security company. I don't really like to cook anything. I don't mind baking things; making salads; and such. I just don't like the clean up! I love holidays! It's the meals that make them special so I've taken on the role of holiday planner. We have them all at my house now. I make a pretty nice red velvet cake that my daughter requests every year for Christmas! My brownies are a travesty! Always.
