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.

 Hi !  My name is Ted but everyone calls me "World Famous" because I travel 150 to 200 days per year with my job.  I'm a service manager for a company the builds railroad equipment.  I'm a 54 yr. old widower.  I was married for 20 yrs and my wife died in April of 2002.  My daughter and Granddaughter both live with me in Georgia.  I enjoy cooking and I do most of the cooking when I'm at home.  I have been a member for some time but have never gotten on the message board before or posted a profile so I thought it was about time!

I really enjoy some of the recipes that I have found in this group.  I do get to sample foods from all over the world, which is one of the benefits of my job. This is a fun site

Well there isn't much to tell about me.  I'm 79 years old (wife, 77), married 61 years, three children now in late 50s.  We spent 30 years in the U.S. Air Force in Air Traffic Control (retired May 1974).  Worked in local U.S. Postal Service sorting mail for 15 years (retired Jan. 1990).   RV'd 3months every summer since than to get out of the Arizona Desert when the temp was HIGH.  Give up the RV'ing this year to settle down and start living on the memories.
 
I find your web site to be very, very interesting.   This is the first time that I've looking into cooking.   And all those recipes sure look delicious!!!!   Food is one thing that I'd not a stranger to.   I love it all, except I draw the line on "rare fish".   Tried that only once when in the South Pacific on Johnston Island, HI Territory.

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! I just joined and it looks like a great group! I HATE to cook and always have! I do cook on occasion, but when I do, my boyfriend says to 'take a picture.' His mom says 'it's amazing' and 'should I faint now or later?' hehe I know that I am a good cook, but I just HATE it!!
 
Anyway, I live in Oregon with my boyfriend, Rodger, our two dogs, Bear and Lucky, and our turtle, Tordie. He has two grown children (23 and 25) and two grands (1 and 3). I never had kids and can't have them.

Hi all.  Just found you today.  I am a married, working mother and I am not a very good cook and have absolutely no imagination.  I am hoping to find some easy, good tasting, quick recipes that I can make during the week that will fill everybody up.  I'm gone from the house 12 1/2 hours a day so I don't have a lot of time for those traditional cookbook type of recipes that say preparation time is 20 minutes and in reality it takes 2 hours!

Greetings, I'm Dianne.   I'm a professional baker in a small town familyowned bakery. We bake everything we make from stratch. EVERYTHING.  I'm a kid at 47. My husband and I have 9 kids between us. Glen had 5 when I married him, I had 2. We have 2 more. I work nights so I could be home with our kids during the day and teach music. Our kids are now all in school. I am now the full time care giver for my 90 year-old mother-in-law. The only full-time care giver.  I sleep after my families supper. Around 5:00pm. Am up every night by midnight. Many nights earlier. I try to cook all our family meals with good stuff. And, real cooking.

  Hi!  I'm Kathy from Reading, PA.  I'm 54 years old, married with 6 kids & 7-soon-to-be-8 grandkids!  I LOVE to cook, living in the heart of PA. Dutch Country, but I am always so busy, I like to find good, quick recipes.
  Food has always been a big part of my life....my grandmothers were fabulous PA. Dutch cooks.  Even where I live has an influence....I'm in Reading, home of Bachman Pretzels.....50 miles in all directions are Hershey, Lancaster County (Amish), Philly (cheese steaks!),  Herr's & Good's Potato Chips & Godiva's right down the road!
  So, I hope to find some good recipes & maybe pass some on to you!
  Happy cookin'!

I had this group on my favorites, now I joined!  I almost never follow a recipe exactly, but make it fit my healthy lifestyle.  It's great to come in here and when I am desperate to find something to cook with what I have in my cupboards!
 
Email me!  Oh, and I found your site while I was searching my cupboards, and searched the recipes section of groups!

Hi to everyone, My nickmane is Eats-Alone, that alone explains why I don't like to cook.  I am tolded I am a excellent cook, but right now I have no one to cook for. I was married, I have one son, who has 2 sons.  I get to see them for 6 mos. in the summer as I go Florida in the winter.  I have a cat, he is 15 yrs. old.  His name is Ashey.  He has more frequent flier miles than anyother cat.  I just recently got my computer, was nosing around and found the recipe sites.  I think this is a great idea.  I am interested in diebetic recipes mostly.  Contact me by e-mail if you care to.  [email protected].  Thanks, Bye
