Graduate of the absolute worst culinary school in America...yet still managed to work in some of the top kitchens in Washington, DC during the eighties. Now, retired and somewhat bored. I still cook daily, for my family and dogs.

Living in rural Virginia limits both my dining out and the ingredients I have available to cook at home. With only a single grocery store inside of a forty minute drive, "make do" ingredients have become a way of life. If I can't buy it at the store, on the internet or grow it, I make do.
