RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in Philadelphia, PA. I am single and prefer it that way. I'm currently unemployed, but looking actively for work as a marketing administrator. I do enjoy cooking for friends, but my family finds my tastes too exotic for them. I am a Navy veteran and have traveled extensively throughout Asia and lived in California for seven years. I'm constantly changing my profile because I am never satisfied with it.
