Jamie and I love to cook. It is one of the most enjoyable ways we spend our married time together. Admittedly, Jamie is a much better cook, but I can certainly hold my own. One of our other couple passions is fishing. We love all kinds of fish and there is nothing better than eating your own catch! We also grow our own ingredients. Our most successful year-round growth are mexican peppers. We have a constant supply of peppers to spice things up.
