Greetings from the Pacific

January 12, 2018, 08:10 AM

Used a grill for the first time when I was 13 years old, and now, 12 years later, decided to get more serious about my cooking. I hit 5 years in the Navy at the end of the month. I'm almost home from a 7th month Deployment on the USS AMERICA, got to experience the best food the eastern hemisphere has to offer. A lot of Sailors bring home T-shirts as souvenirs, I brought home cook books. Cant wait to get home and start using my friends as lab rats.

I look forward to the great advice and recipes on this forum.
