I live in Traverse City MI, I love to cook, read, craft and design jewelry. My husband is a veterinarian and is quick to boast of my cooking skills. We have 2 dogs Cody 8, Cricket 6, a cat Mango 1, a cockatiel Huey 7, and a Bloody parat fish named Jubuilee. We have three grown children Karen, Kate, and Ricky. My favorit things to cook are seafood and deserts, but I love to try new recipes of any kind. New years day we make a pot of oyster stew, which I love but I am known in my family for my Lasangna and it is the most requested meal. I love that my husband tells me and even his own mother that I cook better than her. I once cooked liver and onions that the dog wouldn't touch, that was many years ago. but I have never lived it down.
