Hi, I'm a grandmother of four, mother of four. I enjoy gardening but not weeding. I enjoy a clean house but not cleaning. I'll try new recipes and I'm always looking for easy but not boring meals. Sometimes I'm too busy to cook. I throw pottery and hand build clay objects. I also draw and paint. My favorite subjects are old barns and buildings my pottery work is varied but I particulary enjoy the designs of Hopi, Walpi and work from the town of Mata Ortiz. I research indian culture, history and art form meanings before I design an olla. Most of my time is spent in my studio so the crock pot is a very good friend of mine. I enjoy fixing and eating enchiladas. They are time consuming but worth it. I put a little twist to my recipe. I warm the enchilada sauce, dip the tortilla then quick fry each side, fill them roll them up and finish up with cheese and sauce on top. The enchiladas I mentioned above, I learned from my Mom When my children were quite young, I was creating without a cook book an oriental stir fry. Some of the ingredients my children had never had. so they kept asking what I was making. Not knowing quite what to call it I just said "You'll see" When dinner was ready and they loved every bite, they asked again "What is it" My reply "youlsee" To this day they ask if I will make "youlsee" Too many tragedies to remember. I call them experiments and my husband is the guinea pig.
