"Cooking Light 1999 Serve these kebabs with the Grilled Garlic-and-Herb Grits. It's a nice change of pace from rice."

I have been tattooing professionally for 10 years. I had my first baby in March 2005. He's the best thing that ever happened to me! Update: Since this post, I had twins in May 2007. Unfortunately one was born with a Congenital defect called Diaphragmatic Hernia. She has been in the hospital since she was born and as of today it has been almost 8 months. As soon as we come home, I plan to start getting back in the kitchen, but it has been the last thing on my mind as of late. 2nd Update: My daughter has been home for a year now and she's been doing really well. She's still has a long way to go, but she's strong as an ox!
