About Me

My name is Vickie. I've been married to
Bill for 32 years this December. I work part time for a small industrial supply company. My husband is in the Academic Affairs department at a small college, and helps make sure we have healthy drinking water in our state. I have a jillion cook books. I put all my favorite recipes together in a binder last Christmas for the kids, but, they weren't thrilled. They want Mom to do the cooking. Mostly it's just me and Bill and the dogs I have to feed these days. My daughter is 21 and lives at home, but her idea of cusine is a bowl of top ramen, a bowl of cereal or a sandwich. My 29 year old son doesn't live at home, but he is not married and he makes a run on the kitchen as often as possible. I love to cook for anyone who will eat. I can make most anything. I do have a skill that comes in handy. I do manage to make sure everything gets finished at the same time, so whether it is a simple breakfast or a giant holiday meal, every one gets fresh hot food. I hate guests that are late. And, bad manners or not, anyone that I invite to a meal knows if I say 6pm, they'd better be there or we start with out them! Broke my brother in law of being an hour late for everything! I'm just a hillbilly country cook. My grandma taught me to cook. I had to adapt all that fried food to something more healthy, but mostly it's just basic comfort food that comes out of my kitchen.
