I'm a 60 year old italian that enjoys good food and good company. I'm married & have 3 grandsons. I moved to Texas 35 years ago & have been per- fecting the art of bbq ribs & beef. I am also building a wood fired pizza oven to try to duplicate New Haven style pizza. I guess my favorite things are pizza & babyback ribs. Eggplant parmesean that I learned how to cook by helping my Mom when I was growing up. Probably a cheescake made from scratch. This was my first attempt at cooking a cheesecake and it come out perfect. My worst cooking expierence was making chop suey and I did'nt have a recipe and I used way too much soy sauce. It was much too salty to eat and I had to throw it all out.
