I am a certified tea geek. After closing my tea house due to the economic crunch we are all feeling I have been working on a plan to bring a tea community online. In the meantime I have devoted some of my time to Animal Control in Milwaukee and have become a pit bull advocate. I have been cooking all of my life, and am finding that as I grow older I am looking for interesting and different things to cook, looking more for unique flavors than fast and easy. Mom was Irish. We traditionally all ate together at the family table every evening. Mom would usually make a meat, potatoes, gravy and vegetable dinner. She was the best teacher I could've ever had. finding Allrecipes Ohhh....the thanksgiving mishap most of us have had, cooking the turkey with the giblets still inside the turkey neck.
