about me

Daughter to two great parents; sister to two great brothers; Aunt to Espee; Mimi to Waylon (and the two other grandbabies who will make their arrivals in August and October 2009) and mom to the 3 best kids on earth. Baker, cook, photographer, party planner and the best friend you will ever have unless you piss with me and/or my family....then you might regret the day you met me.

Favorite Foods:

I love to bake. I think my favorite foods are my daddy's biscuits and his fried okra, my Nee's chocolate cake with 7 minute icing and chicken and dressing made by either of them. My Nee passed away in April of 2007.
She used to cook Sunday lunch for all of family from the time I was little until she fell and became disabled. Despite the disability, she would wheel herself into the kitchen to order us around and make sure we were doing it "her" way.

I'm one of those people who CANNOT leave a recipe alone and almost always modify it to my taste. In my little world, recipes are just good guidelines and can always be improved! That trait drives my mother crazy!

MY RATING SYSTEM:
I'm not going to rate anything that I think is below 3 stars. I believe that all tastes are subjective and just because I don't like something or the way it tasted, I'm not going to give it a mediocore or bad review.

Everything I rate will have either 4 or 5 stars. 5 is the best of the best; 4 are things that I will make again and 3 are things that I made but need work or the recipes needs something, in my opinion.

I dislike reviews wherein the person states "I haven't made this yet, but....." or "I changed this this and this BUT...". I don't think those are fair reviews for anyone. There are times when I will make the original dish and review it but if I feel something can be improved upon or changed for my family's tastes, I wait and do that the next time I make it and will note that in my review.
