I love to camp, fish, and garden. I grow all my herbs and vegetables that i use in my cooking. Italian, Chinese and American foods are my specialty My gram taught me to cook at a very early age, i remember being 8 yrs old and standing on a chair to make eggs for my pappa. I finally mastered making pies!! Couldnt do the crust, very hard to learn and make it come out right. Made Mexican soup for my husband and used a whole container of chili pepper/cayenne pepper. He never ate it but the dog did and boy was she sick...
