a heating & cooling contractor, co owned Thai resturant, love to cook & eat but weight gain is now problem. My favorite meal is a roast beef potatoes & carrots steamed in pressure cooker.Wife cooks asian foods & have multitude of unusual sauces & spices. We grow herbs. I prefer mederiterian style fresh vegetables & lean meats. skewered meats & batsami rice are a favorite. Frequently shop at local mid eastern market for thier style of foods, cheeses, & herbs. We allways try new recipies, & look forward to new untried foods from different countries. Variety is the spice of life. I tend to never measure ingredients Which does become disasterous when attempting some baking recipies.
