Software Test Manager by day -- working with a bunch of Engineers.:-) Mom and wife by night! Cooking is one of those things that I really enjoy, but don't have enough time to do every day. I'm lucky enough to have a supportive husband. I'm an only child. I collect antiques, although that has slowed down a lot since I am running out of room! Depression glass was one of the first collections. I like to tell my friends that I don't eat "knees" .. meaning animals with four legs, fur and big brown eyes. As a result of this, I end up adapting a lot of recipes. Appetizers, BBQ and sides. Nothing would be complete without a complimentary cocktail ! Fried Turkey, Garlic Cheese Grits, Pierogies, Crispy Cream Donut Casserole, Layered Salad, Pickled Meat, Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie, Kahlua Brie, Really? Triumph seems like a strong word. Can't think of one off the top of my head. I enjoy feeding friends on weekends during the summer months. We enjoy hanging out on the deck, and having cocktail hour. Almost anything that I bake.
