I'm a high maintenance hippy! :) I love the outdoors! Whether it be sitting in the woods by a campfire or lounging by a pool at a BBQ, it's where my soul thrives. On the flip side, I enjoy high heel shoes, fine wine and Chanel mascara! I'm well rounded and try to be as open minded as possible. I don't want to miss out on anything! I'm more of a baker. It's like therapy to me. I enjoy the sweet aromas and I can be more creative. Especially with the presentation. I have a knack for sweets because I have such a sweet tooth! I'm broadening my horizons with cooking. I can do the basics, but have a desire to be a more detailed cook. I remember weekends with my Nanee and spending a lot of time in the garden and the kitchen. I was a kid and wanted to be outside climbing trees, but she would put me to work. She loved to cook and would try anything and wanted to share it with me. Knowing what I know now, I wish she were here to teach me more. I find myself in the kitchen many times thinking to myself, "I wonder how Nanee would do this?" Her refrigerator rolls and giblet gravy can never be replaced. She was wonderful. Cakes, pies, cookies! My first homemade cake was from this website! A strawberry cake for my boyfriend's birthday! It was wonderful... I almost took it away from him. He wasn't worthy! Ha! Too many to list! Although, I have to mention the Captain Crunch chicken tenders. Oh my! Horrible! It sounded like a great idea at the time. I still have friends bring that up... "Cereal and chicken don't go together...". Ha! Good times!
