<p>I LOVE to cook...it is very relaxing to me. A big THANKS to all the cooks on this web site for sharing their recipes and always giving me wonderful meals to make. <br /><br />Our pugs, Norman and Otis are the biggest foodies we will ever know. <br /><br />I'm another one of "those people" that read cookbooks like novels. I'm forcing myself not to buy anymore! because I don't really cook from them I just like to read them. I prefer using my cookbooks and recipes online because they take up less space and are always accessible. <br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></p>
