Am the mddle child in my family of seven children. Two females and a male before me and two females and a male after me. I consider myself to be the bridge between the old and the young, ancient and modern. Growing up was very serious but I made fun of all the serious issues, laughed about them and got through them with a smile.Cooking brings me peace of mind, it gives me power like a demi god. It makes me feel am in control as in I get to control how much pepper or salt you take in..lolz.I love good food. I love to taste good food. I love to hang around people who make good food. I love to shop for food or ingredients. I love to serve people good food or snack.. I love to learn new tricks and try new things, menu..Most importantly, I love to see the expression of awe on people's faces after eating something I prepare because I don't look like someone who can stand the heat in the kitchen...I cook with my heart, soul and mind and my most trusted spice of all of is Love. This secret spice or ingredient (Love)nevet fails.. It makes everything worth it at the end of the day.💕😘
