I'm an OB nurse, work nights, and my husband is only home on weekends. Four grown kids and two grandkids. I cook for my dogs!!! Would prefer to be outdoors at all times. I started cooking before I could reach the stove, I had to use a chair. My cooking changes with the seasons. I am known for my 5 course meals for 20 people, at the blink of an eye with no help. If I had to pick one favorite it would be cheesecakes or grilling. No traditions. Cooking over campfires for 32 teenagers and 12 adults, three meals a day for five days. (Church camp to Colorado.) I cannot make gravy from my grease (bacon, fried chicken, ect). Even my dogs won't eat it.
