Hello! I'm an artist, wife and mother. I love cooking, painting, drawing,talking, sewing, playing with my baby, eating weird food,watching movies with my husband, reading,friends, whales, bugs,chocolate, writing, helping others, nice people, and animals... I hate traffic, cars,rude people, parking lots that trap you, cigarettes, and most of all crappy food Everything! But I really like slow cooking and baking..you never know what your going to get! Saturday BBQ, Sunday pasta, and my own 15 year tradition of a spoon of peanut butter in the oatmeal for breakfast...yum! I made some bomb Ethiopian beef the other day Paella recipe...I used the wrong rice, I used regular instead of risotto, and the rice absorbed all the juice. The whole dish became one giant seafood flavored starch ball! Ouch!
