View the details of this row. 3/12/2002  You aren't seeing double! It's really me!
My name is now 2Busy2Cook4U and my e-mail is:  [email protected].  I have been a member of this site since Jan. 1st, but due to the fact that I didn't know what I was doing when I set up my computer, I ended up with three e-mail accounts.  I am trying to delete them except for this one.  I am still interested in one-pot types of meals.  And also in chatting with our feisty manager, Mcclug!

Hi there everyone!  As you can see I have a big family with 7 children and 14 grandchildren and any help in the kitchen is a plus.  I haven't been here long and this is actually the first time I have been able to sit down and tell you a little about myself. 
 
I also enjoy sewing, quilting and outdoors activities, lately though I have been at my machine sewing, and my rack quilting.  Had a wedding to prepare for and gifts to make, finally thru and wanted to introduce myself.
 
I am from Louisiana, age 46, be 47 on the 11th of this month, next week to be exact, married, of course, and a house full of family as I have already told you about.
 
Am looking forward to going thru the site now and getting involved in some of the activities, so hope to talk with you all soon.  Glad to be here.

Hello Everyone: I love fast & easy and no-fuss recipes so I think I have died and gone to heaven now that I have found this site. I live in Toronto Canada with hubby, 2 teenagers (!!) and two cats. I collect cookbooks and recipes, I just don't like to cook all that much - go figure! I am running out of room to store all my books. Looking forward to meeting others on this list!   ~ WatkinsLady.

Hi!  I'm Jessica, and I live in the state of WA.  I have 5 beautiful wonderful children (4 by my ex) and 1 by a different man who's not in our lives as well.  I am so busy to cook for my children so hamburger helper it is for the most part.  Makes me feel pretty guilty that I'm not Ms Betty Homemaker.  I work full time as an online travel agent, work on the weekends selling tools, go to school in the evening finishing up my last qrtr of Medical Transcriptionist, and working overtime at my full time job.  Do I spend lots of time with my children...unfortunately no.  I am very independant and don't rely on my children's fathers for anything, so I have no time to cook for my children.  I would like to impress them and show them that I can be like the moms that their friends have--which is Ms Betty Homemaker for the most part.  I would really appreciate yummy nutricious meals and desserts that I could whip up for my kids.  Thank you and thanks for this wonderful website that I just happened to come across!  Thanks McClug!  Great sense of humor and something to read while I'm not helping people on the website when I'm working!  Have a nice day!  Jessica

View the details of this row. 11/27/2002  Note From the Manager:
I'm a 68 year-old retired nurse, living alone, so I have the time to work on this project, although I do volunteer in my son's business every day and manage my High School Class web site as well.  Visit us there and enjoy a collection of some of the best humor found on the Internet NewtonNJHighSchoolClassof52  Even though I don't have a family to cook for any more, I still like to eat.  That's why I've been on this crusade to find good, no-fuss meals.  I also sympathize with the busy Moms out there who have to get a meal on the table even when they've been working outside the home all day.  There's a wealth of stuff on the Internet for us, but somebody has to have the time to surf and collect it all.  That's what I have been trying to do.  I also have literally thousands and thousands of recipes I've collected over my lifetime to pick over.  I hope some of my efforts will be helpful.  Let me know what you need.  I'll get to work for you....Sincerely, McClug ([email protected])

View the details of this row. 12/21/2007  New Member ALL ABOUT ME!!!!!!!! Hi All, I am fairly new to this group and because of the holidays I have been running behind on posting an “ALL ABOUT ME�?Post. Well here it is. I live high in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina where I was born and raised. I am 40 years old (Some days I feel 100) I was married for 11 years and now divorced for 6 WONDERFUL years. I have 3 kids, 3 grandkids and a 4 legged baby boy named Chippy who is a Pomeranian, Stephanie (Now 24) who I became a momma to when I was 13 because her momma didn’t want her when she was only 6 month’s old being adopted myself at 6 month’s I just couldn’t say no to a baby being mistreated. After I was married in 1988 we legally adopted her as our own, then proceeded to have a son in 1990 named Justin (Now 17) Both will be having birthdays in January 1 day apart 21st and 22nd. While I was married I owned a very successful restaurant for 5 years, just woke up one morning with NO EXPERIENCE and decided I wanted one, being only a high school graduate I had NO IDEA how to go about it but with A LOT of reading and research on the internet and idea’s that I am known for popping off the top of my head, much to my surprise it took off and FLEW. Sadly I had to close my doors in 2000 because my main income of daily deliveries to the area’s 9 factories was taken away when they all packed up and moved operations overseas. I moved to Greensboro, NC where I met my last babies father and little did we know at the time I was carrying her with Uterine Cancer and 6 month’s after she was born underwent surgery to have the 2 tumors removed, and today I am still cancer FREE. My daughter and me are real life “Father of the bride part 2 gals�?as we were pregnant together and my oldest grandson and Cheyenne is 2 month’s apart in age. Cheyenne was also born the day before her daddy (July 19th and 20th) so they are very close. I am currently the co �?owner of a web design company that was Mark’s dream, but this spring I am branching out into the things I still love to do and will be opening 3 new businesses in the Asheville, NC area �?Wedding Consultant, Caterer and Personal Chef. I love to plan, design, cook and craft as does a lot of my family and friends so this will fit right up our alley, and will also help other’s who have been laid off from various jobs in our town. I am planning to employee a lot of people. I do have a lot of current health problems for my age that includes; Hypothyroidism, Corroded Artery Disease, Chrones Disease and Fibromyaliga. Well guys that is all I can think of about me. Any other questions please feel free to ask and I can also be emailed at this user name at the hottest email on the web (Now figure that out…LOL) Thanks again, Connie C

Hi, everyone.  My name is Debbie, and I am from Mass.  I actually am not a non-cook, but I'm almost always too busy.  Plus, like many cooks, I hate the clean-up part!!  One-pot meals, slow-cooker meals, foil meals for the oven....I want 'em.  I also want dishes that use meat as a flavoring or a garnish......we are not vegetarians, just cheap.  (as in 'fixed income')  After cooking for so many years, (never mind how many!)  I'm starting to bore myself!!  Hope to hear from someone.
