About Me

I grew up in a house where you always kind of expected what was going to be cooked (i.e. chili, chicken and dumplings, etc.) and where the food generally was fairly bland. I always wanted to be a kind of connoisseur of food, and try exquisite tastes and learn to make them as well. My mother was the culprit of the above stated. And my grandmother on my dad's side of the family, I'd always been told by anyone and everyone was an excellent cook. I never got to try it, because she's grown too tired to do such things. Plus, we were never close. But I do believe it's where I likely got either the gift or passion (pick one), and love of food. I never knew it though, sadly, until I moved in with my boyfriend and really started to discover how much fun it is to cook, and how much I absolutely love to make things flavorful and delicious and pleasing to the eye. I'd never experienced good food, until I had this realization. The first thing it was that I cooked that helped me to realize this?? We had bought some ribs that were on sale, and they'd been sitting in the freezer for a little while, and I'd never really cooked much, but we bought them. I absolutely love ribs, and I didn't want to waste them, most certainly NoT. So I started searching method after method, and combined a few in order to come up with my own little way of doing it. The end result? The BEST ribs I have EvEr tasted. EVER!! mmmmmm... ;)
