Eau Claire, 89
I live in Eau Claire, WI. I teach Kindergarten for the Eau Claire Area School District. I was recently married (7/22/06). I've never been much of a cook, but I've really enjoyed trying new recipes recommended by friends and now recipzaar. My husband is enjoying it too. :) As wedding gifts, we received many kitchen gadgets and cookware, I can't wait to try them all out.
