I was raised in NJ just across the river from NYC. I spent 30+ years moving and travelling all over the country and world for work as an engineer. I retired in 1993 and travelled around the USA in a RV. In 1996, I bought a great little house in Frostproof FL and I'm here until I get called to the Great Gourmet Kitchen in the sky. I have several hobbies that keep me very busy. It's a pleasant change to be doing things that I want to do instead of what someone tells me to do.
I use to cook a lot, but living alone, I don't cook much any more, just things I can't get locally. I'm famous for my Saint Patrick's Day "Corned Beast and Garbage". I use my great grandmother's (Delia O'Dowd from Drogheda Ireland) recipe. I hate eating Corned Beef and Cabbage made by most folks. They usually add lots of carrots to the pot and that ruins it. One secret is to put only one whole peeled carrot in the pot to sweeten and take the bitterness out of the cabbage. My favorite restaurant is The Black Rabbit Pub in Arundel England.
