I pride myself on being the best wife, mother and person I can be. I am not defined by my occupation because I do so many different things that it would be hard to fit primarily into just one role. I am a musician, composer, music minister, webmaster/Internet programmer, Licensed Practical Nurse, childbirth educator, artist, teacher and writer, among other things. :) I am never bored! I like to try new recipes all the time. If I like them, I do them once a week for a few weeks to get it down perfect and add my own touches. I like baking as well as cooking. I try to emulate my Grandma Dack who cooked dinner every Thursday for the family. Her hallmark dish was her Southern Fried Chicken, which I am still working at perfecting! I am getting quite skilled at the crock pot as well as grilling. Don't marinate cheap steaks in red wine or else they may have the taste and consistency of ham--not what you want to taste in a steak!
