I'm a PA girl - I'm a Human Resources benefit specialist and work for the world's largest life ins. company. My favorite place to be is PSU for tailgating and a great game. I'm single, just bought my first home, which I enjoy renovating. I own a beautiful Bombay cat named Nero. I love to cook, try new recipes and feed the people I love. Probably my favorite genre is Italian, but I enjoy cooking just about anything. I enjoy a challenge and often get bored when people request the same thing over and over. I enjoy inviting people over just to try new things. My grandmother made the most incredible fudge - however, she never wrote down the recipe before she died. No one has yet to duplicate it. Also, a big family favorite is her baked mac and cheese. I created roasted potatoes on the grill and also rosemary chicken. These are very popular - with herbs from my own garden! My biggest triumph was teaching myself how to cook and then experimenting enough to become a chef! The only tragedy I can think of is using - this happened only once - baking powder instead of baking soda!
