hi. i'm Davina. i live in Tennessee with my wonderful husband, Tim. we were friends in high school and hadn't seen each other in 21 years when he got back in touch with me in 2006. we became friends again and i fell madly in love with him! we were married on April Fools day 2007, and i'm still crazy about him! he is a truck driver, so chances are when he's home, that's where i am - whether it's at Lowe's getting things to fix up the house or at the grocery store to pick up ingredients to make what he fancies for dinner! he is truly THE cook of the house. i absolutely craaave his biscuits n gravy! i enjoy baking and making the desserts and dips and side dishes. i used to work at a bakery in Florida and sometimes miss making all those donuts and specialty breads in mass quantities!
my hobbies include woodworking, painting ceramics and watercolor pictures, other crafts, writing, reading, music, messing around on the computer, doing things outdoors - fishing, long walks, etc. - our kids ( 5 between us), and our puppies (3).
i don't really have a favourite cook book per say - but i still have my mothers copy of the first edition of betty Crocker's new and Easy Cook Book published in 1962 and i refer to it religiously!
Tim and i really enjoy watching cooking shows - one of his faves is Bobby Flay and i enjoy Good Eats and we both love to watch Paula Deen!
