<p>Just moved with my family to Spokane after living in Pacific Northwest for over 20 years. Getting adjusted to new things and work most of the time these days. Most of the recipes I obtain are from magazines, newsstand cookbooks, and of course from home. I use to work in a bookstore and on my break I'd often be thumbing through cookbooks looking for desserts to try.</p>
