A wife of 35 yrs to a wonderful, handsome husband, mother to 2 wonderful, handsome sons, Mimi to two wonderful, handsome grandsons. "#2" Mom to many of the boys friends. They always knew that they would be fed and fed well at our house. Had not cooked a thing when hubby and I married. Learned by trial and error. Must have worked! I work for a company with real estate holdings, hotels and restaurants and love my job. I work about 6 days a week and my hubby and I are very active in our church (so that takes care of my one free day!) Love to cook about anything. Am a little uncomfortable with seafood simply because of our geographical location. Catfish, crawdads and blue gill are about as close to seafood as is native around here. Not big on baking, but I do it. If you like good home cooking, come to my house. Fried chicken, breaded pork chops, meatloaf, roast beef, ham, beans and cornbread, fried okra, mashed potatoes, gravy (we call it milk gravy), etc. that's what my boys like! But I also love to cook elegant dishes, love beautiful presentations and gorgeous table settings. My oldest son loves to cook, but he sure can make a mess! Still is under the misconception that "if a little is good, then more is better" when it comes to using seasonings and spices,yet, but he is getting there. My husband is pretty much useless in a kitchen. He can reheat in the microwave and nuke a hot dog or a bowl of soup, but that's about it. My youngest son just cooks on impulse, never anything planned, but it's usually pretty good, if not just a little overcooked. I love to cater luncheons and brunches for friends. No more than 40 people or it ceases to be enjoyment and becomes more like work. Love to do small dinner parties (no more than 12 people). Just did an elegant brunch for my cousin's daughter. Everyone there (about 40 people) was so impressed! We live in a very small town and I broke out the crystal, polished the silver, arranged flowers, and fixed some very special recipes. The girls in town are still talking about it! When I first started cooking, my husband will tell you that my only disasters were a burned pot of beans and my first attempt at making gravy (I think I added a whole half gallon of milk and the flour just sucked it right up). I only recently tried my hand at homemade biscuits and decided that I should leave the biscuit making to Pillsbury.
