Washington

The Evergreen State is tucked into the upper left-hand corner of the United States, just below British Columbia, Canada, in the Pacific Northwest. To the south, the mighty Columbia River defines a long stretch of Washington’s boundary with Oregon. From the Pacific Ocean, the Puget Sound carves into the state, setting off the lush, rain-forested Olympic Peninsula. Native cultures once thrived in this verdant, remarkably fertile country, making the most of the abundant seafood, wildlife, and foraged foods. Today, wild salmon, oysters, geoduck clams, crabs, and cod are just some of the treasures pulled from Washington’s waters. Moving inland from the coast across the Cascade mountains, the scene suddenly shifts from moist and evergreen to sun-baked prairie land. Out on the eastern side of Washington, you find the apple, plum, pear, and cherry orchards, the sweet Walla Walla onions, raspberries, and Washington’s remarkable wine country. Washington is second only to California in wine production. It is number one in hops, apples, hazelnuts, pears, sweet cherries, and lentil production, as well as the soft winter wheat prized for pastries and pastas.

About me: Hello all, I am a 27y/old computer security specialist who loves to cook (among other things). I started cooking when I was four with my mother and grandmother. Cooking with my family for thanksgiving and christmas are some of my fondest childhood memories. By the time I was eight, I was cooking full meals for my family while my mother was working. I guess this led to my current compulsion to feed people (probably inherited from my Polish grandmother to whom everyone is always "wasting away"). My cooking has evolved over the years to the point where now almost everything I cook is a presentation (event the quick and easy items).
