I LOVE to cook, on the weekends thats when I can take my time and leisurely prepare meals. This site was a gem to find, I love the rating factor, It gives me a better chance of making a great meal. Thanks. My favorite is desserts, but I'm just pleased when the meal comes out great whatever it is.... Im originally a New Englander, I was born in Fairfield CT I grew up in Greenwich, & moved to West Haven for school, Needless to say the seafood back East is the Best. My fondest memories are of my family gathering at the seashore & my cousin Debra would boil live Crab & Lobster in cauldrins of Beer, We would do this maybe once every couple months. Yet to come! I hope it hasn't come and gone and I didn't no it. Too many to name, but my first time making dressing for Christmas dinner was my most embarrassing, My husbands family was there including his mom, and I wanted to impress. Instead of using cornmeal for the cornbread I grabbed the Grits, when we tasted the end product that smelled wonderful, IT WAS AWFUL!
