Newb from Virginia Beach

Hello all!

I found this site from a link a local CBS news channel Facebook Friend led me to.

I am retired from 20 years with the US Navy and now I am back in the civilian lifestyle. Thank you taxpayers for letting me see the world!

My Mother was a Home Ec Department Head from the school district back in Illinois, and my Grandmother was a cook for years in several different capacities. This allowed me to be exposed to the kitchen with the two of these women over the years instilled a genuine passion for creating some enjoyment for others through food and drink.

Me and my lady friend enjoy cooking together and trying to come up with new and interesting dishes to make, and at the same time create our own personal Cookbook (for home use). I hope I can learn some new things here and maybe even pass something along to someone else at the same time.

Bon Appitit!!
