I am a surgical nurse in Pearland, Texas mother of three grown boys, recently married to a man with two daughters, one age 13 and one age 21. <br>I enjoy cooking and trying new things - I am always on Zaar looking for new things to try! My boys have always been used to new tries in the kitchen - both the failures and the successes. My husband was more of a tried and true cook, but has really gotten into trying my kitchen experiments and is having fun doing the same with his grilling. <br> <br><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket>
