Hi, my name is Ken (sounds like the introduction at a 12 step program) and I was born and raised here in mid Alabama, currently living just south of Birmingham. I grew up with a Mom and Grandmother who were both great Southern cooks and I married a lady who was also. My cooking was limited to the standard backyard grilling, hot dogs, hamburgers, pork chops and steaks. When my wife became ill and later passed away I had to learn to cook for real in order to survive and feed two teenage kids. The grill was still my strong point but I had to expand my horizons. I later married a fine Southern Lady who learned to cook at the feet of her Mother and Grandmother. She is probably one of the best cooks I have known and has greatly increased my knowledge of cooking. Over the last 12 years my outdoor and indoor cooking abilities have greatly improved and even more since I have found forums like this and found folks like y'all who can teach me so many new things.
Anyway Life Is Good (at least my t-shirt says it is). I look forward to learning more from my current friends on here and new ones to come.
