While I've been a Marine and a computer professional my real first love has always been cooking good tasting food and my dream has always been to have my own restaurant. You won't find any nutritional facts on this blog that's not what its about. The job of this blog is share recipes that I've developed or collected over the past 40 odd years and which my family, my friends, and I have enjoyed.
