I'm a 6th grade L.A. teacher. My husband is retired USAF and now teaches at the Aviation campus at Middle Georgia College. I have two children, a daughter who's a freshman in college, and a 15 year old son. I love my children more than anything, but look forward to becoming an "empty nester" (hopefully as sceduled). : ) I love to use my crock pot, especially soups. I grew up on the standard southern meat and potatoes diet. BLAH! My mom did make some mean fried potatoes though. Tortilla soup!!! My homemade bisquits are always a tragedy, at least compared to my sister-in-law's fluffy, perfect creations.
