RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm from Oklahoma (Sooner born/Sooner bred); I've lived in the Southeastern-most corner of Tennessee, the FM 1960 area of Houston, in San Diego for eight years, and I now live in Burbank. I have a DBF and a DBC (dear blind cat) named Floyd. I wish I had never found this site, because I can't develop a standard repertoire of meals since I'm always browsing for and finding new recipes. It's a good problem.
