Love to cook, obviously... I actually love my mother in law and enjoy being married. Have had osteoarthritist since I was 17 and as I have gotten older I have gained weight. Like everyone else it's a struggle. Now I am in the process of taking it off but doing it in a way that I can still enjoy some of my favorite foods. Okay, just not the ones listed below. LOL Devoted fan of the TV Show Deadliest Catch on Discovery Channel. Capt Phil and the Crew of F/V Cornelia Marie are my favoites. http://www.captainphilharris.com, come checkout the forum.
