Employed as a Chem. Engineer at DuPont. Married w/ 2 kids. I love summer and vacations. Have a summer home on Lake Ontario. I also ski and ride a motorcycle. Fast and easy stuff with common ingredients but great flavor and nutrition. I don't have time to be shopping to find ingredients I never heard of. We're busy, so I often start preparing meals late, when everybody's already hungry and can't wait for a meal that takes too long to prepare. Chili night at our vacation place (the extended family comes over for chili and corn bread when we're there for vacation) The traditional Thanksgiving dinner at one of our sisters'houses.
