I've been cooking for years, I used to be a chef for Marriott, I worked in the design center for Mattel Toys as the head cook, worked at a religious retreat center in Palos Verdes California, catered weddings, Museum openings, college campus events got tired of the hustle bustle move this move that, always on a time crunch, so I moved over to American Sign Language interpreting, then I started having many problems with my back and after many many operations from the top of my spine to the bottom of my spine shoulders well basically almost every body part... now I sit home and enjoy old movies, and collecting recipes from you all...
