My favorite foods to eat are salads.
Not because they are healthy but because I crave salty foods. I love salt, lemons, olives, tomatos, fish, vinegar, pickedled veggies and foods that can go on top of a bed of lettuce. I grow my own Basil and Tomatoes just so I can have the fresh tart taste of these two champions with my pure olive oil and
lemon.

My cooking tragedies
I am not a baker. I wish I were, my kids would be thrilled but I fail often in the area of cakes, cookies, and pies. Now, if I can use a package I am all set but from scatch forget it. So, my poor husband and kids will only ever have Betty or Dunkin help with their desserts. : )
