about me

I LOVE to cook...it is very relaxing to me. A big THANKS to all the cooks on this web site for sharing their recipes and always giving me wonderful meals to make.

We have two pugs, Norman and Otis. They love food even more than I do.

I'm another one of "those people" that read cookbooks like novels. I'm forcing myself not to buy anymore! because I don't really cook from them I just like to read them. I prefer using my cookbooks and recipes online because they take up less space and are always accessible.

Favorite Foods:

I prefer hot and spicy food. If I can, I put garlic, onions and crushed red pepper in just about everything I make. I think Thai food is great and try experimenting when time permits.

I grew up in Southern MD on the bay...I LOVE CRABS. I used to catch em and steam em for lunch. It's all about sitting with family and friends for no less 4-6 hours, pickin meat & drinking beer. My second favorite food is Shrimp. I eat them all sorts of ways. The more Old Bay on crabs, shrimp and corn the better!

I also LOVE Italian food…more specifically, Italian seafood. I fancy fine dining establishments. I rather go to a really nice place with fantastic food less often than to a mediocre chain frequently.

If I'm out and need something fast I will usually choose Pei Wei. It's reasonably priced, delicious and I can't make my favorite dishes at home (yet). Authentic South American food…specifically Colombia, is another weakness. Since I've moved to FL I get to indulge more frequently.

In conclusion, I simply love delicious food
