It all started with a root ...

It was this beautiful site that prompted my lovely, yet shorter, sister to call me and invite me into a year of cooking with products we are unfamiliar with.  I was instantly excited and committed.   Our first challenge - horseradish root. 

My name is Tricia and I live in Columbus, Ohio where I was born and raised.  I love cooking but rarely cook the same thing twice.  Which is why nothing I make comes out that great.  One day when I was feeling defeated because the birthday cake I baked for my husband's great uncle's birthday was a tad over done, my aunt told me I should just keep cooking because I have so much fun doing it.  So here I am.  Face to face with a root.

My challenger is Megan O'Connor.  She lives in Chicago.  And other than telling you her height issues.  I will let her introduce herself.
