"I got this awesome appetizer from a girl I work with. I'm not sure where she got it. She was raving about how wonderful it was so I told her to prove it to me! She made it for a going away party, and I'll be... she was right! Amounts are approximate. I just watched her make it and then tried myself. You can use a sturdy cracker like a Triscuit, but I think a baguette works better than the crackers because there is less salt. However, using crackers is a good way to keep it no-cook for the summer. (Serving size is an estimation.)"

I recently moved to Maryland after having been raised in New Jersey. My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 7 years and we love living here! He is a T.A. and grad student at the University of Delaware and I work full-time as a Pharmacy Technician. I love to cook, but I am new to it. I just started last July ('07) when we moved in together. He is super busy, but tries to help when he can, and he is great in the kitchen! He's helpful and insightful and loves to eat! I'm still a little slow in the kitchen, but I'm catching on. We love the outdoors, nature, and curry! We have no children, but 4 of the cutest fish that you'll ever see! We are busy and our schedules are hectic, but we always make time for great food and even better conversation. <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"><img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg">
