"very good salad, you don't have to use the dressing. I tried a raspberry vinaigrette with it and that is also scrumptious too! Note: do not refrigerate the dressing"

I just graduated HS in 2007. I am 18 years old. I love cooking, hence why I joined Zaar. I was in culinary school for about a semester. I guess I didn't like being able to things my way. I am currently in the USAF, and I leave for boot camp April 22nd. I graduate June 6th. My MOS is intellegence applications. I analyze the information that is collected. I love animals. I have a dog and a cat. My cat is a whopping 25 lbs. lol, just a tad bit fluffy. I love kids too, and I want lots of both. I absolutly HATE baking. It seems whenever i bake cookies or a cake they come out horrible. Or Burnt. lol. http://www.myspace.com/grk31589 -----> is my myspace... i love meeting new people, so feel free to add me!
