I'm originally from Southern California. I like to cook and learn new recipes and techniques. I'm married and have a daughter. I'd like to learn to cook healthy meals that my daughter will enjoy eating. I'm also interested in cooking for small dinner parties at my home. http://www.geocities.com/tamrakat/ Crock Pot Chicken stew with butternut squash and zucchini. Grilled duck on New Years Eve stuffed with fresh Rosemary and basted with olive oil. When I was 18 years old I offered to host my family's Thanksgiving dinner, but I forgot to take the turkey out of the freezer to defrost it untill that morning.
