Hi Jackie,
How lucky you are to have a head start by appreciating all those "weird" foods
Check out the blogs on this site by soysycophant - she'll be a great inspiration to you. And yes, I remember reading others who were in your age group - Gary, any way to search members by age???
other than that, just read over some old posts - you may come across them.
so who cooks in your family??
