I live in a small town and try out new recipes for entertainment. Work at a powered equipment repair shop and enjoy backyard astronomy when the skies are clear (a rare event in Washington State!) anything spicy and/or unique, mostly dinner menu items, meats/pastas/stuff that goes in tortillas. marinades & BBQ in the summertime. I like to have friends & fam over for dinner and Thanksgiving and Christmas are always at my house. cookies with the fam... i have no kids but have 6 younger siblings, and we still have fun baking cookies when we get together I'm afraid I'm not too adept at creating my own dishes but I enjoy trying everyone else's. Married and have introduced my picky German husband to Thai, Greek, Indian, and Middle Eastern foods. Surprisingly, he's been very cooperative and actually enjoys most of the dishes. :) Pie crust, period. I buy that in the freezer section.
