I have been happily married for 40 years. I have 2 grown children. My family is #1. I recently retired, and am spending my time in the yard, on the tennis court, golf course...and, of course, in the kitchen. I love trying new recipes every week. I have tons of cookbooks and use them often. I prefer cooking meals, but desserts are special also. I've recently discovered the slow cooker....love it. I have had much success in most dishes and desserts I prepare.
