Hi y'all!

It's me, Rebecca! I'm an (almost) 30 year old mother of one and wife! I am a stay at home mama.

I love to cook.. Sometimes it turns out awesome, sometimes not so much! LOL It's a dart game for me! I enjoy the challenge! I'm not a fru-fru cook.. I like simple comfort foods and cooking recipes handed down for generations. I LOVE and appreciate ALL cuisine! Especially Italian because it's steeped in tradition, values, and is centered around the family table. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't deep fry a napkin if I thought it was edible! :p I'm southern my blood is 35% Crisco. :D
 
Welcome to the forum Rebecca. You will love it here. It's nice to have another youngster here (I have kids older than you) but I should lie about my age. Who would know. I tried once to tell people that was me on jglass' avatar. Anyway, welcome aboard.
 
Hey Rebecca I love ya already, you're just 100% perfect in my book! I love all cusines as well; but Sothern Comfort Foods are hard to beat!!! I am a working GrandMa and raising a 9 yr old Grandchild and have 3 other grandchildren that do not live with me! I also have lots of step-grandchildren that live with us (3) and so my home is very full. I am so happy there are still Mom's that can stay at home it is the greatest job ever!!! My step-daughter that lives with us is also a stay-at-home Mom, and her hubby works. We all love to cook around here and or eat! It is a great forum, I hope you will love it here!

Welcome!

P.S. I really love Cherokee, North Carolina do you live near there? We live in the North West corner of Georgia.

Hi Rebecca. My name is Janie. Sounds like you and I have some things in common when it comes to our favorite foods. I live in Kentucky so I am all about southern comfort food. My second favorite is Italian food. My cookbook collection is all southern comfort food, italian food and a splash of asian food.
I just ordered a few new used cookbooks from Amazon today.
I ordered one bread making book along with two southern cooking books and one classic italian cooking book.
 
Hey Rebecca, thats me up there on jglass' avatar. Trust me. :rolleyes:

BTW that "Hi ya'll" I love it. You will fit right in. I just love you already.

Hi Rebecca and welcome to Spice Place! I sleep days and work nights so I usually contribute hours after ya'll have gone to bed (although sometimes janie's a night-owl, too!) :)

And for what it's worth- I'm not the guy in janie's current avatar- I'm the one she had yesterday- the young hunky sexy actor-dude with the open shirt. (Hee-Hee!) Actually, I'm the guy in my own avatar- chunky and extra-large for all the world to see! :)

I cooked professionally from the time I was just 14 until I turned 39- so my kitchen career lasted 25 years. I spent time at hotels, country clubs and at resorts in Alaska operated by Princess Cruises. I side-stepped out of gourmet food and strted slingin' hash and serving-up meat and potatoes at remote site work-camps for Alaska's oil, commmercial-fishing and mining industries before calling it quits. I loved kitichens, but they were hot and demanding and I decided to move back home to rural central Illinois to be near aging parents- and these days I work the graveyard shift in the basement of a Fortune-25 company in a completely unrelated field.

I love all food- from fancy/schmancy foo-foo, to basic homestyle GRUB- I'm definitely not a food-snob! My favorties are caramel pop-corn, grilled beef, grilled salmon, fried chicken, cheese & crackers, fruit and cheesecake.

Anyway- as you can see- this is a friendly foodie forum made up of fantastic, neighborly folks! And we're mighty-fine glad to have ya! :)

Lastly, lotsa Southerners here- as well as folks from ALL OVER! I've called Illinois and Alaska home- but one day I hope to retire to a cabin in NW North Carolina- at which time I will host everybody from Spice Place to a weekend of Alaskan Barbecuing and tent-camping in my back-yard! :)
