I love my job and find it both challenging and rewarding. I enjoy cooking and have, after a period of low enthusiasm, started to cook more and more new recipes that I have found online. I am working on a ring binder of recipes so the children can be more involved in the food they eat and will hopefully create our perfect cookbook of food we all love.<img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><img src=http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/goldsparkle.png border=0 alt=Made by Bella14ragazza /> <br /><a href=http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v51/tiggrr34/?action=view&current=HolidayOrnamentSwapTag2c-1-1-1.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v51/tiggrr34/HolidayOrnamentSwapTag2c-1-1-1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /> <br /></a><a href=http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa97/angelamtch/1a511f23-1.gifborder=> <br /> <br /></a><a href=http://s201.photobucket.com/albums/aa97/angelamtch/?action=view&current=1a511f23-1.gif target=_blank><img src=http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa97/angelamtch/1a511f23-1.gif border=0 alt=Photobucket /> <br /> <br /><img src=http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/Acadia/Banners/HolidayCardSwapBannerP-1.jpg alt= /></a></p>
