i love to cook and experiment with recipes. i try to make them more healty without losing the flavor. i usually succeed. i sometimes find myself cooking for no real reason~~it relaxes me and for me, there isn't anything i love more than cooking, drinking a little wine and listening to the blues! chicken parmasean, anything mexican. trying to invent things with veggies. i'm not vegetarian but if i can come up with something that has no meat and is still very hearty i am very happy weekend breakfasts and family get togethers. the get togethers don't happen often enough but when they do i try to go all out ~~ interesting appetizers and something everyone will love ~~ also, just the right wine starting a catering company (with a couple partners) up in just 2 days. that was quite a chore. after a year in business we had quite a following. it was very fulfilling to see people coming back for more of my cooking and raving about it! it got to be too much work and i had to get out. that was one way of getting me to DREAD cooking. i like doing it for pleasure, not for money corned beef and cabbage once....I'll never make it again. We all grossed out!
