I live in Valparaiso, Indiana and have been married to by DH for 26 years. We are blessed with 2 daughters; the oldest is 25 and married and has a 4 year old son, the other is 22 and will be married in Oct. I am currently working as a school bus driver (yes, you have to be a little whacky to do that job) but have also worked as a respiratory therapist and veterinary assistant. By being a bus driver, I have the summer off and have been enjoying a lot of "play time". I love to kayak whenever I can. Any day in the boat is a good day! I also like to scrapbook, which I do sporadically, and travel, which I do whenever I can afford to. Of course, I love to cook or I wouldn't be here on this site. I tend to collect recipes and try new things. Luckily, my family is accomodating to my culinary adventures. I have a couple of favorite cookbooks. One is The Sopranos Family Cookbook and the other is the Moosewood Cookbook by Mollie Katzen. The last one is a vegetarian cookbook. I can easily lean that way. Not for any particular reason other than I have never been particularly crazy about meat. Don't know why. I eat it, but I could live without it. My DH, on the other hand, can't live on veggies so I compromise. I also peruse a collection of Taste of Home cookbooks quite often. My all time favorite dishes are written down in a binder and I have no idea where most of them came from.
