I am a retired banker who loves to cook and to entertain. I love the outdoors and spend many hours in summer working in my yard and garden.
My pet peeve is people who say "I can't"
I love to try new recipes particularly ethnic recipes.....Japanese, Chinese, Italian, French and German.
I love to travel and spend time with my daughter and grandchildren.
My husband and I love animals and have a sweet black and white cat named Sparky.
