about me

Zaar...Wow, what a place! Since joining I have met several other Zaar chefs and have made soooo many wonderful dishes. My family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six little kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol
For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Right now I taking some time off recovering from surgery and chemotherapy for breast cancer. I start radiation in March to absolutely napalm the little suckers to keep them from returning. =)
I am happiest outside...walking, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February the water's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, knit, quilt and paint. In cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large, sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) .

Favorite Foods:

I enjoy making my own spice/cooking mixes and canning...(Looking at the jars of goodies tucked away for winter makes me grin.=) I am a true foodie and will cook at the drop of a hat! Baking is so much fun. I make different breads,biscuits, pies, the like. Even though we live miles from the coast, we love seafood!! Really enjoy tinkering with shrimp, scallop and lobster recipes. ( I think I've gained 8 lbs just typing this entry)
