About Brian -  I am employed by the Department of Defense.  My current project has me moving around the South East part of the US, and I enjoy the short trips that I make now.  I live in Hanahan, SC with Cheryl.  Hanahan is about 12 miles from Charleston.  I am a "Displaced Yankee".  I was born and raised in Avenel, NJ which is part of Woodbridge Township.  I lived there until I was 15 years old when we moved to Duplin County North Carolina.  That was a long two years of my life!  After graduating from Kenansville High School in 1978, I joined the Navy and started traveling.  I got out of the Navy in 1984 and have lived in Lexington Park Maryland, Virginia Beach, Virginia, and now Charleston.  I love Charleston and have lived here since 1996.  I was also stationed here from 1980 -1982, so I wasn't a complete stranger to the area when I moved here.  If you have any ideas, constructive criticism, or would like to contribute one of your own experiences, please drop me a line by clicking here.

About Cheryl -  I am currently employed by the Department of Defense.  A US Navy Veteran (Desert Shield/Desert Storm) and very active within my American Legion Post 166 in Goose Creek, South Carolina.  I was born in Colorado Springs, CO.  I am the product of the US Army, my Dad has since then retired from Fort Gordon, GA.  Being a Military Brat, I have traveled all over the US and Europe.  I have many experiences and memories that have contributed to who I am today.  With all my travels I have learned to love cooking and preparing dishes from around the world.  It would be my pleasure to share these recipes and memories with you.  I moved to Charleston back in 1993, came for a visit and fell in Love with the town and its people.  I have made Charleston my home.  If you have any memories, experiences for food tips, recipes, etc.  Please drop me a line by clicking here.
