Firehousecook AKA Cap'n Jack

about me

First; I have been cooking since about 1942. I LOVE Cooking. I grew up in North central Oklahoma during the Great Depression. No Sisters so Mom taught me to cook. (for my own good said she. Guess what she was right) it is about my number one Hobby(my Wife appreciates it too). Over the years I have cooked for huge crowds and little groups. Korean Vet and a member of a proud American family that goes back to 1684 in this country on my Mothers side and W A Y back on my Fathers side. CHEYENNE Indians from the Kansas territory.
Love any outside cooking no matter what you call it and am addicted to HOT PEPPERS.

My favorite dish to prepare is deep fried Turkey. Also I have many requests for fruit pies of all kinds.

Have three Children, two Grand Kids, One Great Grand Daughter which I thoroughly enjoy spoiling.

I feel I am at peace with the world live in the middle of about 400,00 acres of forest land and surrounded by wonderful neighbors. All four families.
About our only problems are all of our Politicians who haven't the brains to ask our opinion about anything. They are to arogant for that.

Favorite restaurant has to be the Cedar Run Inn in Cedar Run PA. It is homey, back in the hills and woods next to a beautiful stream and the food and service are on par with any big city eatery.

Favorite Foods:

Good Chili without beans but, if I have to :O)
Smoked foods of all types. All dishes that have a good presentation. Lets face it folks. I'm a guy that loves food. It would be easier for me to list what I DON'T like. With that said I am not over weight, don't beat my wife and love Company.
