about me

Along with cooking as much as I can for my hubby and children I also enjoy sewing, playing pool, and reading.

I have a fondness for animals, charitable works, and my family.

I have to reign in my love of cookbooks because I would buy them all if I could - my current favorite is Recipezaar. (Go figure!) I've never seen anything like it and it's just wonderful!

Notes on my ratings: In terms of cooking skill I rate myself a "good cook". In terms of taste, well....I like what I like so it's subjective. (If my picky DH gives something a thumbs up and/or my children also like it - that's a bonus but I rate on my own experience.)

When I read a recipe I get a sense of what I THINK it should taste like. If I make the recipe, don't experience any trouble in the making of it, and it tastes like I'm expecting then it's 5 stars.

If it tastes like I expect but I had some issue in the making of the recipe, which I will document, then it's 4 stars.

3 stars would mean it's middle of the road. Tasted okay, worked okay, but it didn't set my tongue on fire.

2 stars is going to be an overall disappointment, most likely in taste.

1 star - I hope never to give any recipe 1 star. With luck I would "know" that the mix of ingredients or what have you isn't going to work for me.

I hope that's helpful for anyone I review.

Favorite Foods:

I'm keen on just about anything though I don't really like to eat anything that resembles what it used to be. In other words, please don't bring me my fish with the head still attached. But I'm pretty game other than that.
