Married for over 8 years, no kids, lots of friends. I love wine tasting, like at the Seafood and Wine Festival in Newport, OR. They hold this event every February. Also, love to travel and try all the different cuisines. casseroles, appetizers, and dishes that take a lot of ingredients and time on the weekends! Since this is what I enjoy, I love spending a lot of time in the kitchen! My mom never really cooked anything gourmet. Just Spagetti, tuna casserole, marinated (sweet and sour)chicken and things like that. She was a single mom so cooking was just something she HAD to do. I learned how to cook from my mother-in-law and now my husband can't get enough of it. Thanksgiving Day at my house! I had my family and my husbands family over.It was stressful, but everything turned out great. Mushroom Moussaka. The 1st gourmet dish I tried turned out bad. No flavor and very soggy and mushy. My husband for years never told me the truth about it. He didn't want to hurt my feelings!
