lazy gourmet

I love food. Italian is probably the best...I also love MEAT - I could never be a vegetarian, I'd die. A good ole steak and potato dinner once in awhile never killed anyone, right? Love pretty much any comfort food that is bad for you, too. I've sealed my fate. ETA: Lately I've been trying to be good and cut a lot of salt and flour out of my diet. I've never been one to salt things and just became aware of how much sodium is in canned ingredients - EEK! Luckily we have enough organic-ish stores around here I can buy low sodium anything. Also, the hotter the better - and the more garlic the better. Dump an bunch of chili powder on a roasted head of garlic and I'm in heaven! (I'm kidding...but only sort of!)

Oddly enough, I love shellfish and sushi (although I've never been tempted to make my own)...but I'm not a big fan of actual cooked fish. I try to get some in my diet, but I'm kind of squeamish about cooking fish. Go figure, I'm weird.

I'm not a huge sweets fan, but the hubby is. And the man can eat and I don't know where it goes...you may relate if you live in a house where you find candy/chips/junk food wrappers randomly left around.

I'll be exploring more of my culinary side in 2009...and using the hubby as a guinea pig!
