Retired. Love to try new recipes! I am a member of an awesome Church and we have many activities (many include FOOD!) We have many pot blessings! We contribute meals to people who have just returned from hospital or are grieving. Once a year around Christmas we put on a meal for our city's less fortunate. I truly appreciate the help and advice from the 'Zaar members.
