Moved to Texas in 2004 after living in California all my life. I live with my boyfriend and his teenaged son, and that is a constant adventure. I have just really gotten into cooking since moving here and am enjoying trying lots of new recipes to expand my repertoir and skills. I have so many kitchen goodies to buy!!
