My family resides in the Dallas area. We just brought my mother-in-law to live with us as my father-in-law has just passed away unexpectantly. I currently work part-time as an Administrative Assistance to a financial planner but as my husband travels and Mom has alzheimer's disease I will more than likely have to quit my job to stay home with her. My oldest is a sophomore at one of our community colleges and is an incredibly talented singer, artist, and our own little drama queen. My baby is a junior in high school and loves nothing more than working on his 1970 Chevy pickup truck. I began cooking when I was around 12 - my mom would call me after school and tell me how to start dinner. When I got older my interest expanded into the gourmet realm of cooking. I would classify myself as a "scratch" cook. I love to try new recipes and am never afraid to present a new recipe for the first time at a dinner party or to our church friends. And I would far rather make my own pie crust than use something premade. I currently take Fine Cooking, Cooks Illustrated, and Cuisine At Home. Some of my favorite cookbooks are Junior League books, the ones put together by our Women's Ministry and the regional ones I have picked up when we traveled.
