I am an RN. I enjoy walking around the neighborhood. I like to go to the Museums. I especially enjoy the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
I love to cook and I love to try out new recipes. When I go out to eat, I love to try something new. I try to re-create what I have eaten in the restaurant, at home with various degrees of success.
I LOVE ethnic and regional cooking. I want to learn to cook "Southern".
