Hmmmm ... this is getting a little bit confusing! :lol: Next door -- neighbor

Hi Andrea, I think it's great when someone takes an interest in cooking while they're still in college. You'll be a gourmet cook in no time! :wink: Welcome to DC. There are some wonderful people here who are generous with their knowledge and love to share. I hope you enjoy your stay. Anne
