Love trying new recipes!!! I get bored eating the same things, at least I think I would if I ever did. Love all types of cuisine. Always ready to try something new. I have a few 'aversions'; anything hydrogenated, High Fructose Corn Syrup, & MSG and Cool Whip. If these ingredients are in something I will not eat it (Probably, maybe not, unless it looks really really good). Grandmother of six, even though I am sure that I am not old enough, and certianly don't feel old enough at my age (55) to have that many. One more thing about me, I am blessed with a very loving husband who will eat anything I cook and never complains.
