<p>I love cooking, dancing, singing, fundraising, researching interesting topics, being a mom and wife. Oh, and I love the coast! <br /><br /><br />I have a Master's Degree in Speech/Language Pathology. Our beautiful, one and only son will be off to college in two years. When that happens, I will diligently pursue Speech/Language Pathology again. <br /><br />I've been cooking since I was 8 years old. My first memory of cooking alone ...I'm on one of our kitchen chairs, it's a Saturday morning, and I'm frying bacon. <br /><br />I fried it alright. Didn't realize that food would continue to cook after taken off the burner. I was hooked. <br /><br />I love a challenge. <br /><br />I am having a great time on this site!<a href=http://photobucket.com/icons/ target=_blank><img src=<a href= alt= /></a> <br /><br />I>http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa118/detenator_2007/emoticons/yay.gif> <br /><br />I am participating/participated in: <br /><img src=<a href= alt= /> <br /><br />http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/APG/576-21387~Oooookles-of-Noodles-posters.jpg> <br /><br />src=<a href=http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/nowsonexitmusic/banner-smalltemp.jpg> <br /><br />http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/nowsonexitmusic/banner-smalltemp.jpg> <br /><br />src=</a><a href=http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/nowsonexitmusic/mushroombanner-smallpic.jpg> <br /><br />http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/nowsonexitmusic/mushroombanner-smallpic.jpg> <br /><br />src=</a><a href=http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg> <br /><br />http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg> <br /><br />src=</a><a href=http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4902/41213577264b44m3kh4.png> <br /><br />http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4902/41213577264b44m3kh4.png> <br /><br />href=http://media.photobucket.com/image/carolina%20panthers%20football/scifilarry/football%20book/CAROLINAPANTHERS.jpg?o=10 target=_blank><img src=<a href= alt= /></a> <br /><br />http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd223/scifilarry/football%20book/CAROLINAPANTHERS.jpg> <br /><br />href=http://media.photobucket.com/image/carolina%20panthers%20football/scifilarry/football%20book/CAROLINAPANTHERS.jpg?o=10 target=_blank> <br /><br /><img src=<a href= alt= />>http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i25/bayhill/footballpool-1.jpg></p>
