about me

I am a sourdough freak. I only work with wild yeast sourdoughs. It is the most fascinating and rewarding type of baking that I have ever done. I have always loved to cook, especially baked goods and desserts. I like to change a recipe to add my own personal touches.
I was a stay-at-home mom for 20 years, but now I work full time, and I am also a Pampered Chef consultant.
I have four children, who are all young adults now. Three of them (boys) still live with me, so we go through a lot of food in this house! All my kids cook, which is good, but I always get to clean up (not good!)
In my spare time (haha...what spare time?), I like to quilt and sew; do many crafts, including rubber stamping. I love gardening and like to try new plants. Also like to can some of my garden bounty, but time doesn't allow me to do as much as I'd like. Last year I grew and dried a few herbs. They were wonderful--so much flavor compared to store-bought.

Favorite Foods:

Breads are my favorite food, of course, especially homemade sourdough. There is no comparison between it and the store-bought stuff.

My favorite thing to eat is probably Chinese, mostly the sweet & spicy dishes. I also like Mexican a lot, and my favorite restaurant is ChiChi's, but we don't have any near here so it's been years since I've eaten there. I keep hoping we'll get one, as this city is growing by leaps and bounds.
