And the expertise around here is darned impressive! I consider myself a pretty accomplished cook, but I am absolutely wowed by folks like Hubs2Sparkly (and so many others!) who so generously share their knowledge here.

Thank you, thank you, everyone!

6. Patricia, this group is an oasis, a calm in the storm, a place of respite

Food is love. :)

This is likely the friendliest, warmest, most fun place on DU. I have never, not ever, not once, seen a cross word.

I've learned so much from you all already. There are so many creative cooks that share their secrets--I'm impressed with you all!

Now that spring is here and summers coming I'm looking forward to what we can do with our fruits and veggies! Oh, I know many of you grill year round but it tends to be a summer thing for us so I can't wait to hear about those secrets too!
