Обо мне
Cooking is my new-found passion. Watching various cooking shows has inspired me to start reading, learning, and most of all experimenting with various dishes and creating some of my own. Every recipe I post here has been thoroughly tested & approved by friends and family :)
I am a liberty activist, fighting the battle to restore personal liberty and a Constitutional government in America as a volunteer for the Ron Paul Presidential Campaign (2008 & 2012) and the Campaign For Liberty. I recently ran for State Representative as a Libertarian.
I worked in sales for an industrial parts warehouse, selling hydraulic starting systems used on oilfield machinery until recently. I have a degree in broadcasting & public relations and a background in journalism.
I love to write, and I love learning about different countries, cultures, interests, and beliefs. I love God, my family, and my country. I support the persecuted church through The Voice of the Martyrs, and believe in the inalienable rights of all people.
Кулинарное влияние
I grew up watching my mom & my grandma cook - especially holiday meals. What child doesn't love to pull up a stool and help? My dad also has a passion for grilling, and passed that on to me.
Aside from that, I've watched various cooking and food appreciation shows on television, tried to recreate favorite dishes from restaurants I've visited, and just plain gone into the kitchen and experimented.
That's really the essence of cooking. Roll up your sleeves, get your hands dirty, don't be afraid to experiment, and most of all have fun. Taste as you go along. Season liberally. Throw it away and start over if it flops - you'll have gained valuable knowledge of what doesn't work, which will guide you towards what does work.

Дополнительные заслуги
Barbeque Expert ~ Can cook on charcoal, propane/natural gas, or open fire grills. Specialize in typical grilling items such as steaks, burgers, dogs, sausage links, pork chops, or chicken pieces but can cover more exotic items like asparagus, mushrooms, veggie burgers, etc.
Tex Mex Chef ~ Mexican, Southwest, "Tex Mex" foods are my favorite to cook and eat. I use a lot of peppers, onions, cilantro, black beans, corn, chili powder, and other traditionally 'tex mex' ingredients in my recipes. From tacos to enchiladas, from refried beans to rice, I love it all.

Feel free to post your recipes to people's group sites. E.g., I posted your new potato taco recipe, and others, to Tex-Mex and Latin American Cooking.
The cooks and chefs on this site are fun and supportive, and let the link thing go.
Just post and experiment. You're young and cooking can be an adventure.
Regards,
Myra
