I'm married to a great dude, I have a job that I love most of the time and I have a floppy furry little Lhasa Apso that has to be the sweetest dog ever. I love food, but not just any run of the mill junk. I love GOOD food and I love finding others who enjoy food and cooking as much as I do. I do a lot of gluten-free cooking as my husband is allergic to wheat. It was a bit overwhelming at first because wheat is in just about everything. Turns out that it's not the end of the world - it's actually forced us to eat healthier, fresher foods. No more processed foods. Hooray! I love hosting Thanksgiving and Christmas. But my favorite family cooking tradition is when I'm able to have a girls only family night with my mom, sisters, aunts and girl cousins. That and making povatica bread (which I don't like all that much) with the same sisters, aunts and my grammy. Getting better at asian food: preparing sauces and not being afraid of flavors. I once had a craving for something with shrimp. I just wasn't sure what so I got online and found a recipe for shrimp newburg. I should have known that it would turn into a gross orange mess when I saw that it called for ketchup (?!?). In the eleven years we've been together it's the only meal my husband refused to eat. I don't blame him.
