I just bought my first house. So much to do!! I live with my BF, Mark. I enjoy going to garage sales, painting and crafty (but I never have time), going out to eat and chilling at home in front of the TV. I love cooking and I love GARLIC!! I bought and tried a smoker this year, I made ribs and everyone raved about them.
