<p>I'm a full-time paramedic in the City of Edmonton, and a father of 5 year old twins, so I don't really understand the concept of free time, but when I do have two minutes to rub together, I'm usually cooking. I must admit I'm not overly fond of day-to-day cooking, but when a dinner party is afoot, that's when I really shine. My cooking preferences definitely lean towards the decadent side of life! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> </p>
