about me

My background and experiences are very unique. Too much for this venue! With respect to cooking, I have partaken of cuisine in many parts of Europe, and have enjoyed wine since I was a tot! I learned to cook from my mom who was a gourmet and loved to give glamorous dinner parties. She was of German descent and that was reflected in her cooking frequently. The other side of my descent is Scotch/Irish and that also was reflected in my mother's cooking and traditions. It is the Celtic side that I most strongly take after.

At gatherings and potlucks, I admit, I am most famous for bringing the green bean casserole, pretty provincial, I admit, but everyone demands it of me, and well, I can't disappoint my public!

The cookbook I use the most is good ol' BHG "New" Cookbook, which is very dog eared by now. I've had it since moving out on my own in 1985.

Favorite Foods:

Mexican Food, Hot and Spicy, Exotic Cocktails and Liquors, Wine (can't afford to be picky about it though) Old Fashioned Green Bean Casserole, Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies, Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner, Wassail, Irish Beer, Corned Beef and Cabbage on New Years Day and St. Patrick's Day, I love international cuisine and trying new dishes.

I am NOT a baker. I am not into deserts or sweets. (I guess my weight reflects that. I weigh 106 lbs)
