married 25+ yrs, 4 children, in graduate school for a master's in nursing plus a full-time job as a nursing instructor. Live a country lifestyle, 5 dogs, lots of outside animals. Oldest daughter getting married in Oct. comfort foods (mashed potatoes, meatloaf), love to bake one weekend in the fall, several of my friends and family come together and make apple butter all day. sandwiches for lunch and then we have a chili-cookoff for dinner for me, it's a triumph to get a decent meal on the table after working all day! salmon croquettes-the only thing in our married life my husband refused to eat!!
