Still playing "catch up" on reading old threads and just found this one today.
Found this site thru a Google search and glad I did! Use to visit the old FN boards until they took it down.
Been a fan of cooking shows for a long time... cutting my teeth on the early ones on PBS and Discovery Daytime like Graham Kerr, Julia, Great Chefs, etc.
Born and raised in the Carolinas on a farm were we grew all of our veggies and butchered our own meats. The DH and I live on a SC sea island by the name of Edisto, which is abt. 45 mins. south of Charleston, SC. It's a semi-tropical area with a long growing season so plenty of fresh veggies year round and fresh seafood.
Married, retired with one dog and three cats. Before I retired I was the owner/mgr of a birding/nature/gardening business. On of my early jobs was the mgr/cook for a small restaurant/deli.
The DH and I have a RV and like to travel in the summer. Been to almost all of the 50 states and part of Canada. Besides cooking, love history, genealogy, photography (the DH calls me the "crazy lady with a camera" I take so many photos), reading and nature-related things.
I'll try almost any kind of food, but my favorite thing to cook is just simple Southern down-home meals and enjoy cooking Gullah-style dishes too.
Glad I found this place and here's to my new foodie friends!
