about me

I live in a small (but growing to be very large) town in Oklahoma. I am currently a student, studying library science. I like to cook and eat, play the piano and violin, and train and play with my two dogs. I don't have a single favorite cookbook, but of the ones I use, I like BHG the most. Their recipes are usually very good. I would say my passion is learning new things--and traveling to new places. I also enjoy writing fiction. Some of my pet peeves are: 99% of the drivers in Oklahoma; people who don't take good care of their pets; people with NO TASTE; intellectual psychobabble nonsense; boring people; the list goes on forever!

Favorite Foods:

One of my favorite dishes to cook and eat is West African Pot Roast--you'd never believe the taste comes from only a few simple ingredients. I am famous (at least with my friends) for my cookies: chocolate chip, chocolate truffle, biscotti, you name it. Also for German green beans and two of my grandmother's recipes that I reconstructed, a chicken and dressing dish, and a Red Hot sweet potato dish.
I haven't had much opportunity to eat in a lot of restaurants, but the best two that I've eaten at were TeKae's in Tulsa, and Kyoto in Stillwater. They serve the best Asian food!
