about me

I've been hanging around here for awhile, so I guess filling this part out is overdue...:oops: (6/09)

I am a teacher, married to a pretty swell fella, and have a spoiled rotten princess, er, I mean, cat.

I'm pretty eclectic with my passions - obviously cooking and eating being high on the list! I love to read (from cookbooks to horror/suspense to fiction, fantasy, sci-fi to nonfiction...if it's still long enough, I'll read it). I make beaded jewelry, mostly bead weaving, some stringing. Enjoy listening to most sorts of music - and it's a darn shame I can't dance, sing, or have any sort of rhythm. Computer geek at heart - I'm frequently on the net or playing games in my spare time. I also like drawing and writing, but I don't have as much time to do as much as I used to. I have amassed quite the Good Eats DVD collection (thanks to my DH.... and he's sweet enough to make sure I've picked up the plungers and dino squirt bottle along the way :D). And to complete the quintessential nerd profile, yes, I do read comics.

I couldn't pick a single favorite cookbook, but golly, I looove fundraiser cookbooks. Talk about tried and true! I tend to collect all sorts of cookbooks, most of them southern cooking. Guess I cook what I know.

If you ever try any of my recipes - thank you! I hope they tickle your tastebuds!

Favorite Foods:

I haven't found too much I didn't like. Love salads, especially in the summer. Rather fond of pastas, Mexican, Italian, and Chinese when I eat out. I tend to cook more traditional American/southern fare at home, but I'm trying to branch out. I absolutely adored this little Greek cafe we had for a short time, and I'm trying to learn to cook a few Greek things. I'm not half bad of making baklava, but I'm still slow working with phyllo. Spanakopita - now that's stuff a girl can get a hankering for.
