In the normal course of events, I don't generally talk about myself all that much. But, I figured that you
might want to know who you are dealing with. So ...
My wife and I have been happily married for 26 years and we live in the rural East Central Illinois
community where my wife was born and grew up. We have lived here for 18 years.
I was a ballroom dance teacher for 14 years, and moved around a bit in that capacity. I have lived in Florida,
California, Texas, and Virginia.
Being the oldest child of 6, mom had me helping her out in the kitchen at a very early age. I remember
learning to cook macaroni & cheese when I was so small that I had to stand on a chair to stir the pot.
By the time I was in junior high school, we had a family tradition of: me, cooking everyone's breakfast on
Sunday mornings.
While serving in the army, I won an award for my cooking abilities (which basically meant that I could read
and follow a recipe card [grin]). To this day, I am the cook in our family and enjoy being creative in the
kitchen.
I have to admit that, more often than not, I do not exactly follow a recipe, but use it as a guide, or use
it as inspiration to try something. Over the years, I have collected a lot of recipes - more than your
average person. I am excited about sharing recipes with YOU.
The foundation of my "dealings" with everyone is the "Golden Rule" - "Do unto others as you would have
others do unto you". I want to be treated with respect, honesty, and dignity so that is how I will treat
you.
I humbly ask of you, please buy some of my recipe eBooks.
