I am a soon to be unemployed (YEAH!) wife and stepmother of two. I also have a small herd of cross-bred milk goats and a flock of about fourty hens as well as cats and dogs.
My favorite cookbook is "Wild Boar on the kitchen floor" written by and for missionaries living in third would countries.
I love to cook but hate to clean.
