I love to cook and find new recipes! I prefer vegetarian dishes, however I do eat fish. Every night my husband and I try something new and this website has been so valuable to me for years. I run marathons and have completed 5 this year. Looking forward to travelling to distant marathons in 2010 to experience different cultures and foods! I really enjoy Thai flavours, although not necessarily noodles. Spicy and sweet is my favourite combination. Everyone in my family loves to cook with different levels of adventurousness. Most of our family gatherings revolve around food and it can get quite decadent. My brother and sister are top cooks. While I like to get close to their competencies, I'm in the middle between my other sister who gets creative with store bought foods:P Well...I haven't had one yet, perhaps a series of mini-triumphs. I did manage to save a family Thanksgiving once where I had it catered with home cooked foods! I was designated to host and got behind because of work:) I once baked very expensive fish marinated in the most brilliantly tasty sweet glaze. Before I put it in the oven I lay lime rounds down the top...it had taken me hours to create the entire meal from scratch and after several successful courses I presented the fish wrapped in leaves. We peeled them back and on the first forkful everyone's faces puckered. The fish had turned incredibly bitter! DISASTER. We enjoyed the rest of the wine and seconds of the first courses.
