Live in Indian, and work as a programmer for a local newspaper. I enjoy cooking, cross-stitching, reading, working with computers, lawn work, decorating, spending time with my husband, and son, and traveling. My all time favorite cookbook is Betty Crocker's my mom had one while I was growing up and my uncle bought me the same style of cookbook as a farewell gift, I was heading over to Italy, wonderful food place! My passion is food, I love to eat and try new things, even if I'm such a whimp that I can't handle even the smallest of heat. I have one cat, that is so very spoiled. If I had a month off of work I would go crazy!
