I am a fulltime RVer spending the summers in my home state of Idaho and my winters in sunny Southern CA. I have been a widow for 6 yrs. now and want someone special in my life. I don't cook much anymore since it is just for me but still love collection recipes. I love doing karaoke and have my own machine. Love dancing to the oldies and country/western. I want to travel more but not alone as my little dog does not appreciate beautiful scenery or museums and will NOT share the driving. I have always loved to bake and still do but can't afford all those calories anymore. I love to try new recipes and I make a large pot of soup almost every week. Love those homemade soups. mmmmm My sis-in-laws taught me how to cook after I was married and I learned to enjoy it. Chess pie, the type that is similar to pecan pie except with walnuts and raisins, was a traditional holiday favorite when hubby was alive. I made them as tarts in muffin tins. He did love them and so do I. Baking cookies was always my favorite and I had dozens of recipes. I was known in my small town as a great cookie baker. I got so tired of cooking family meals as I didn't have the money when my family was at home to try the new recipes that I now love to experiment with. Meals were just repetitious and boring. Now that I don't HAVE to cook, I do enjoy it when I chose to do it.
