Very political, left wing preferences. Proud to have been a WTO protester (it was a modern day Boston Tea Party). The anarchists were not appreciated, should've been entirely non-violent. I marched with ironworker families, physicians for social responsiblity and other "radicals." Protested the illegal "American Adventure in Iraq."
My favorite things to cook
BBQ, salads, breads, spaghetti sauce is a favorite. Started the Nutrasystem program October 2007 and it's been great. Also quite smoking with the patch...so this is my year coming up. Always looking for healthy recipes, always watching portions and love variety. And that's the way you look good......
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love to cook for my friends, from putting it all together to toasting with non-alcoholic beverages.
My cooking triumphs
Bringing dishes to pot-luck dinners, feeding poor people at "food, not bombs" gatherings.
My cooking tragedies
Tried a gourmet dinner. Everything was just so-so, even hand cracked the pecans. It was very good but soooo rich, three bites were all anyone could accomplish. Won't do that again.
