<p>I'm recently divorced and decided that I needed to learn how to cook before I starved to death! Turns out I love cooking almost as much as I love eating! I'm a military man and have been serving since 2003. As a result I have had the opportunity to sample food in several countries and have seen some beautiful sights. I am a big family man and truly believe that every family bonds greater around a dinner table than anywhere else, hence Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday!</p>
