about me

I have 3 years to go to retirement. Can't wait to see what it's like to have spare time to cross stitch, quilt, cook, etc. etc. etc.... I have enough patterns, recipes, books to last me oooooooh.... thirty or forty years. And I'm addicted to collecting more. I'm planning on living a long, long time.
My favorite cookbook is one my mother started putting together when she was a new bride. It's a big old ledger book with about 45 years worth of recipes hand written, pasted in, and some loose thrown in that I think she meant to try but might not have got to. As you can see, my collecting addiction is genetic. The last few months I have also become addicted to the tag games and swaps here on Zaar. I have made so many wonderful friends here.

We all need hugs..... comfort food is a close second!

Favorite Foods:

I love cheesy, starchy comfort foods but try not to have them too often. I guess there's a shorter list of what I don't like (mushrooms and spinach). I used to eat out a lot, but with the tag games I'm playing, I am finding healthy (mostly, tee-hee) and tasty recipes that I enjoy cooking for myself.
