I live in Calgary and work as a technician downtown. I'm not that great a cook. To be honest, I lack the very basics of common sense in the kitchen, much to my husbands amusement and chagrin. The dogs usually get the things we can't eat, and sometimes it just goes straight to the garbage bin! Oh well. I am learning, and I've tried many of the great recipes here!
