I am a dedicated wife and a devoted mom of a doberman and a calico cat. I love cooking for my husband and occasionally my dog and cat. I donate a lot of time to my local blood bank, animal shelters, and Planned Parenthood. I like to cook lots of things, but my favorites are things that I can whip up quickly or anything my husband will eat (he's a picky eater with texture issues). I guess my favorite cooking traditions are green eggs and ham or biscuits and chocolate gravy on a Sunday morning. I also like to make sweet potato pancakes and serve them with mimosas and real maple syrup. Making homemade chicken soup for myself when I start feeling sick. Getting back into the kitchen and making great meals in spite of the negative criticism of my step father and some of my exes. I was making something with some kind of chocolate sauce and while it was boiling, it splattered into my eye. I tried to make rice noodles for my husband which I had never cooked before. He couldn't eat them because they were undercooked.
