Howdy. I'm a newlywed in San Antonio,Tx and cooking had never been enjoyable until I got married. But I felt like it was my duty and privilege to cook a delicious dinner for my husband and family as much as possible. I'm not a natural in the kitchen, so this website has been a God send. I brought a fruit salsa made from a recipe on this website to a wine tasting party and won the "dessert" prize. That was awesome. And of course anytime my super picky husband says he likes what I made...that's an exceptionally good feeling. I tried chicken fried steak - which is so messy to make - and thought that it was ok to boil a couple cups of water for the gravy IN the measuring cup ON the stove. It exploded and glass shards went everywhere. By the grace of God I wasn't hurt but the dinner was ruined and it took hours to clean everything up.
