Welcome world!!!

Welcome!! This is new for me, life has become a wonderful experience over the last few years and I am getting brave about trying new things. Thanks to the wonderful man who is now my husband I am out of the box, and learning so much about life, and what I had been missing. Life can be wonderful. Life- stir in one wonderful man who loves me, add his two beautiful daughters, add one house we are making our home, add the spastic cat named Lucky and you have the makings of my new wonderful life...that I am enjoying. Hm, just a few years ago I had some great friends, lived with my mother and niece in Michigan and did not let myself out of the box, and now I am very happily married, something I never thought would happen in my life, and I am venturing into the world of blogging! Welcome World!!




One thing I'm learning in life is how to cook. Right now, I'm chopping a colossal pile of onions for "Seafood Brodetto with Cous-cous". Okay... we're using chicken, not seafood, because I was too cheap to pay $16.99/pound for Grouper! The recipe is in a new cookbook I got for Christmas, Lidia's Italy, by Lidia Matticchio Bastianich. We saw her on Emeril Live, and we enjoyed her personality and interaction with Emeril. Now, I'm forced (by choice) to grate a stick of cinnamon, due to the absence of ground cinnamon in our house. I knew there was something I was forgetting to buy! For my family's sake, keep your fingers crossed that it turns out!!!
