<p>I love to cook and I have a husband who loves to eat, so it's definitely a match made in heaven :) I have a beautiful 23 year old daughter who lives in Maine. Our pets are Kirby (dog) and Kody (cat). I meet my husband on a flight to San Diego....it was love at 1st flight :) My husband is from western New York and I'm a native of Colorado. I love this site. Well actually, I've become addicted to it. I rarely got on the computer before but I'm on it everyday now looking at recipes. I just wish I had enough time to make all the wonderful recipes I see. When I make a really good recipe I share it with family, friends, coworkers and customers. <br /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></p>
