Hello cyber world

This is my first attempt at blogging, so bear with me and maybe we all will learn something here.
I am a self taught cook, having grown up in a family of eight, me being the youngest. I got to spend alot of time in the kitchen with my mother learning all her recipes. Today, I still use several of them, and along the way, I have made several of my own.
Since my wife is the family blogger, my visits here will be more of a weekly thing where I will share a recipe and also feature a gadget of the week. I think we own about 90% of all the gadgets in the pampered chef catalog.
Please feel free to comment on anything you see on here. Leave a recipe if you like, or give another use for the gadget I show, or just stop and say hello.
