about me

I live just North of Chicago in a small town with my husband Don and two kitties which we found in the woods.
I love cooking, gardening, collecting cookbooks (vintage and new) and surfing the internet.
My favorite chef right now is Rachael Ray.
I love quick and easy and am just now getting into OAMC. I like freezing things in smaller portions as it is just the hubby and I.
I also am into organics and making my own cosmetics and cleaning products.
I work at a local store that sells, China, Crystal, and Sterling. I enjoy my job very much as I've been into china since a time I spent in England while in the Air Force, (many years ago). I also love working with the public so I'm fortunate my job suits me to a T.

Favorite Foods:

My favorite dish to cook is anything new.
I am most famous for my secret steak marinade.
My favorite restaurant is a place in Anchorage Alaska (we forgot the name), that my husband and I stumbled upon on our honeymoon, in an alley at 11:00 at night (it was still light out); we were told presidents had eaten there. We had the best meal of our lives. The main entree was a huge steak with peppercorns inserted into the meat. To this day I salivate just thinking about it.
Our other favorite place is the Kula Lodge, on the slopes of Haleakala on Maui. We found this place on our tenth anniversary and I would have to say it was the most romantic meal of my life.
