My heritage is deep-southern; I now reside in Atlanta, Georgia. I hold an Associates Degree in Foods & Nutrition. I currently work as Purchasing Coordinator for Nutrition Services with an area hospital. To say the least, I take my work home with me as my passion for cooking pours into my life at home. SEAFOOD is my favorite especially with the cajun/creole influence. I still enjoy the comfort foods of the deep south. Fried Fish, Okra, ALABAMA BARBEQUE--Spicy, Mustard-type sauce. Shrimp are a staple where I'm from as well. I've made a career at what I do. I have a lot that I'd like to learn and a bright future ahead. My triumph is to continue doing what I love no matter how tough things get at times. I've had my share of mistakes and that's how I've learned. Let's just say there's been many of nights where we've had sandwiches and pitched what I attempted to prepare. I like to think of them as Cooking Comics rather than Tragedy.
