For Smoky

April 2000-August 2008



Cooking has long been a joy and important to me. I have worked extensively in food service from the lowly pot washer to a cook who prepared full hot meals for up to 500 people at a time, 5 days a week. Working and making food is not as fun as enjoying myself at home in the kitchen, toying around with unusual and tasty ideas. I love thinking outside the box!
I also enjoy working with flowers as I have worked at as well, and also for a time made and sold a variety of crafts, including floral arrangements, potpourris, hand made soaps, cloth dolls, and prim painting, along with a variety of other things.
Currently I am disabled from work due to a variety of spinal problems. It can be boring being disabled, but I can always fill my time with fun stuff like Recipezaar!
I live in SW Ohio with my husband and beautiful daughter, who is almost ready to leave the nest. I am originally from St. Louis and have also lived in Mississippi and Florida. I love the southern weather!
I have 2 cats, Smoky and Merlin, who have managed to come up with some nicknames for themselves (Moseph and WeeBee). I am crazy about cats and cannot imagine living without one or more carefully applying their shedding fur to my legs.
I have an immense amount of cookbooks since I also sell them and occasionally some end up in what I want to save. I really am in a conundrum since I want to save them all but have nowhere to put them. So, long story short, I will be posting a ton of recipes I may or may not have tried. If it concerns you, look for my photo (which means I made it for sure) or ask me via zmail (as I have tried lots but have no photos for those). I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!!!
I don't watch a lot of tv (although I do enjoy movies), but I became wrapped up in a show called Dexter on Showtime, which I find to be most fascinating in the way it juxtaposes the ambiguity that sometimes lies between good and evil. So as you can see, in the most groupie-ish way I have a countdown clock to the next season.



Happy Summer!!!
