My wife loves it when I make meals. We've been married for 25+ years and it's only getting better! (my cooking and our friendship). Our daughters think it's cool to have a dad that can cook and shop for groceries. I love to Deep Fry a Turkey at least once a year. I love to make Chicken soup, seasoned turkey burgers on the grill, pot roasts, sloppy joes, Tilapi,cowboy beans. I just need ideas from time to time, so I spend time surfing AllRecipes.com frequently. A meal with family and friends. It can be a summer cookout or a Christmas dinner. I love it when people like the food I have prepared. A delicious pea soup for a dutch themed dinner that we had in our neighbor hood. And having prepared a ham for Christmas dinner with friends and family. I'll go check my e-mail while this simmers a bit.......Well, it was smoldering upon my return. For a while I had to plan a back up idea for dinners.
