Hello from Northern California

[TwoDogsBob]

Hello and nice to be a member of this forum. I've been lurking for awhile and have found some wonderful information here already.
My wife and I moved about four years ago from the Sonoma County area, wine country, to a place we have always vacationed in the mountains of northern California.. Love it here but leaving the wonderful restaurants of the Sonoma, Napa, San Francisco area behind to an area where the motto of most eating establishments seems to be "We can fry or microwave anything for about 8 bucks" has been a challenge. Good thing is my wife and I both love to cook and it's given us a wonderful oppertunity to polish our skills.
When you enjoy eating at home more than dining out, ya know your doing something right..
Looking forward to learning a lot.. Thanks Bob
