I'm quirky, a little opinionated, and I have a silly sense of humor. I also have fibromyalgia. I am such a foodie. I guess it’s the French in me. I love cheese, potatoes, pizza, bread, coffee, olives, strawberries, broccoli ... actually almost all veggies and fruits. I love exotic and spicy foods. I love to cook. My mom has a picture of me cooking at about 18 months old. I'm far from an expert but plenty of things I try turn out well. I don't consider myself to be picky, but I don't like ketchup, hot dogs, "cheese" in plastic packets, and white bread. I like to avoid preservatives and fillers, and buy organic stuff. And make green choices about everything. Do I succeed? Hmmm, jury's still out on that. :-) I love clothes. I love things that are unique or vintae, and I like timeless over trendy. I love music. I'm not a pro, but I'm not just a radio listener. Music has been a part of my life almost as long as food. And we’re back to food. :-) I don't know if I have one favorite of anything. I don't mind stirring a pot for hours. I love making things for other people. So I usually end up cooking in large quantities. I feel like I have more control of things on the top of the stove than the things in the oven. I can't make the oven heat correctly, but I can turn "low" up if it's not right. Lasagna. Fish tacos with slaw. Quesadillas. Pasta with cheese or alfredo sauce. Crepes. Snowball cookies. Guacamole. It takes me a long time to chop. I have small hands and a bad grip. I've burnt things, broken endless yolks of eggs, over seasoned ... But let's not focus on that. :-)
