The most memorable meal my Mom made for me was also the last she made for me. My wife and I travelled from OK to TN to visit my family. We had no idea my Mom's health would deteriorate so quickly and that it would be the last time we saw her healthy. My Mom made a Maltese ricotta cheese filled pastry called Pastizzi.

Whewps... I forgot to mention we live in rural Oklahoma (about an hour away from Tulsa and Fayetteville, Arkansas).

Hola! I'm Jym Brittain, I dont hide behind a screen name, so I use jymbrittain. I'm both a doctoral student and a college instructor/administrator. I'm 43. I've been happily married for 17 years. I'm the father of a very active 4 year old boy. My wife would agree that I do about 90% of the cooking and she's grateful. I've been cooking since I was 7, learning first at the elbow of my Mom and my Nana (grandmother from Malta) then through the cooking shows on PBS and now the FoodPorn channel and PBS.

My passion is bringing a plethora of flavors, styles, techniques and dishes to the dinner table to share with family and friends. Having lived in 4 different states and having traveled to a few different countries helps with this. Culinarily speaking I'm probably best known for my take on Chicago deep dish pizza with Chourico and for trying to form a dinner club in my rural college town.

On Friday evenings during spring and summer, family members and friends get together and have drinks and appetizers on our patio. My SIl brings the champagne to drink and everyone contributes to the meal. Always a wonderful time.

I really like to have champagne with a variety of cheeses and crackers. Delicious!
