I guess I've been around that apple tree a few times, today I'm a full time student at Delta State University. My new neighbors call me Emeril and appear every Thursday evening to see what I've conjured up. It seems that in the land of Southern cooking, italian and Cajun are big hits that they dont get to enjoy very much. Most of the women around here seem to be amazed that I can cook something besides hamburgers and steaks on the grill. I actually have one neighbor who calls me three times a week, and she asks me if I'm making any garlic bread today! hehehe
I enjoy the outdoors, gardening and just being outside. I also like computers I suppose. The food network isn't bad either! I guess my favorite cookbook would be the one I use the most, that's the RecipeZaar! I also like to watch Emeril and Paula Deen doing their thing.
