I love the four seasons-probably would never move out of the Buckeye state because of it. I am in the mental health field, contemplating on changing my career altogether to animal medicine! I have a bit of a southern twang, which a lot of people find it funny (being I'm not from the deep south, only Cincinnati south), and I'm rather tom-boyish. I love to play around, sometimes too much horse playing lands me in trouble! I love sports--baseball, football and basketball, an all out Ohio fan :) I monitor what I eat; I like to whop up a batch of fresh satueed vegetables. My boyfriend has borderline high cholesterol, which made it crucial for me to be more attentive to his diet needs. He is my guinea pig, I make dishes, he tries them and gives me feedback on what to do better next time. Currently I am attempting to master the art of slow cooking chili! I'll never be able to master my mom's ability to make everything from sctrach. My mom is capable of looking at a picture and replicate the same dish depicted. She's the most amazing cook--from main course to soups to deserts, just fantastic. I'm becoming more aware about the presentation of food now that I am preparing it. I've mastered a lot of dishes--I used to have Sunday night football fans coming over, I've whopped up healthy dishes and vegetables that they consumed without hesitation! I was proud of myself for tricking them! I've set many fire alarms off, burnt many skillets and easy meats (bacon, sausage). I'm impatient, I realized with cooking, it FORCES me to slow down and I enjoy that aspect of it. I learned not everything should be cooked on high heat.
