I am 28.I live 2 blocks from the Ohio River with my mother,one cat,and one dog.I work in the deli of our local grocery store which happens to be less than a block from our house.I am a member of our local writers group.I enjoy writing poetry almost as much as cooking,however cooking is tastier! I use a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables and seafood when I cook.I also am known as the queen of cheesecake! Lemon chess pie at Thanksgiving.Fudge snowballs at Christmas.Moms barbequed chicken and fried okra. King cake! The first time I have conquered a yeast bread recipe!Yipee!Making spritz cookies at Christmas and finally getting the cookie press to work! Last year when I tried to make hot cross buns for Easter.(see mention of yeast above)They didn't rise and tasted like rocks!
