I am 25 with 25 years experience. I am married to my sweetheart. We each had two children when we married, but they are all grown now and gone. I love to read cookbooks but have just gotten into cooking. My husband is more than willing to try my experments, my 82 year old mom who lives with us, well, she is more than willing to tell me whats wrong with them hahaa. I don't really know if I have a favorite, I love chopping things up. I think it takes me back to my days of childhood where I chopped up grass and such to make mud pies, stews etc..... I don't have one. Sad eh? I can made some good ribs and a good rost. (at least thats what my sweetie says). My mom was visiting and I cooked Chicken for dinner for us and my then boy friendn now husband. I brought it to the table and we started eating and mom says, oh, this is good Judy. Well, I took one bite and it was, besides not done, HORRIBLE!! I snatched the plates away, the whole time my mom saying, no its good, and we went out to eat. I guess mom was afraid I would end up an old maid hahaha!
