RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I was raised in Miami, Fla., lived in New York City for 28 years and now have lived in S.W. Ct. for 8 years. I love to garden and cook. I make needlepoint rugs, and I have dabbled in painting(oil and watercolor). My favorite music is the blues. I have travelled alot. I consider myself 3/4 vegetarian because I still love meat - just not too often. I'm married to the love of my life. Oh, by the way, my twin sister is Sharon 123. <embed src="http://www.travbuddy.com/flash/countries_map.swf?id=3727794" quality="high" bgcolor="#372060" width="400" height="213" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed> <a href="http://www.travbuddy.com/travel-widgets"><img src="http://www.travbuddy.com/images/widget_map_promote.gif" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.travbuddy.com/hotels"><img src="http://www.travbuddy.com/images/widget_map_hotels_small.gif" border="0"></a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
