Having the opportunity to travel in work, I have been able to sample many different cusines. Everything from grits and greens (pronounced gahretts and granes)to NY deli food and all the subcultures found there. YUM! I still favor seafood from my own native Pacific Northwest--razor clams, salmon, Alaskan king crab, so I try to go home once a year to see my daughter, my sister, and have a few good meals with them. Anything I can share. I love to cook for people; cookies for work, brunch on a Saturday, holiday dinners. It's really fun to go with a theme and carry it out for a whole meal. Funeral jello; My mom's potatoe salad; her Christmas Turkey; Goulash; and many special holiday meals. Saturday Brunch for my son's Navy buddies and their families. I was the Wilton lady for a while, I did some amazing cakes. I once baked and decorated a special anniversary cake for all the stores in a local mall (35) out of my home kitchen. They were all to be delivered the same day and then given away as part of the festivities. My first meal as a wife was a meatloaf that cooked in a new crock pot for 9 hours and was still completely raw. I accidently delivered a wedding cake to a funeral.
