Greetings, wanna be.
It's been my pleasure to be a member of this great site for a number of years and honored to be one of the moderators. It's a rewarding job and one that is always an education.
I've had my share of bumps along the way and am happy to say, with the help of my friends here, I've come out on top after the worst experience of my life. I won't go into that now but, if you're interested, you can ferret out the appropriate thread that will fully explain it.
As for our site, it IS the best on the Internet. All of us here who are "staff" try our best to be helpful and informative. I have always loved what happens in the kitchen and have been cooking since I was 8-years-old. At this point, that is over 50 years, so I hope I've learned a thing or two along the way. However, having said that, I'm still learning...volumes.
So, just dive in and swim around with the rest of us "foodies" and have fun along with us.
