Hrm...based on the ideas given...
I live in England. But I was raised in Georgia, USA. Yes yes, a southern girl through and through. I'm a student in a serious relationship with a brit. I'm a student studying English Literature and History, loving every minute I might add.
My favorite cook book is anything by Jamie Oliver or Gordon Ramsey, I just think they're grand! And it's written in a clear way.
My biggest pet peeve will always be rudeness. I'm southern--there is never, ever an excuse for bad manners.
