Can be covered in chocolate but that's a bit to sweet even for me."

I live in Christchurch N.Z. I am married to Barry and we have two teenage sons one at high school and the other at Uni. I work with people who have a intelluctual disability and have done so for over 20 years. I love to quilt, cook,and read and watch sport, try to walk for a hour every morning. Favourite cookbook I have so many but my favourites are The New Laurels Kitchen and the Masonic Centennial Recipebook. I particularly like cook books by community groups the older the better.
