I have been cooking as long as I can remember. My grandfather and mother have inspired me always. Have my greatest pleasures realized when I can cook with or for others. Interesting, good tasting food should be a way of life. 55 divorced and a workaholic. Work hard but play hard too! Healthy basics. Whole grains, rice, fruits, vegis and lean meats. Hearty meals w/ lots of varity from my farm background. When guests take seconds or thirds. Excess nutmeg more than once.
