I'mPat

about me

I have changed my name from Chef Pott's to I'mPat for I think that reflects more who I am, I am not a chef, I am a home cook and enjoy what I do, cooking for my family and myself and trying to keep it healthy with diabeties in mind (myself and DM).

I care for my DM (83 with dementia) and my DS (24 with autism and intellectual impairment) and the love of my life my DH (married since 1981 and lived together for 3 years prior to that) and there is our 22 year old DD who has now left home to live independantly (who we are very proud of as she makes her own way in this world).

The picture posted is of myself and JustJanS taken on a houseboat holiday in Mandurah Western Australia. Jan is the first and at this stage the only ZAAR member I have met personally and I am hopeful of meeting others. We have now also had the pleasure of having lunch with Joy (Joyful Cook) from Wales and her DH, Terese from Perth, Dan (DaniBoy) - [Jan's son] and his partner Verity and their beautiful baby son Kobi along with Jan and her DH and a great afternoon was had by all.

From all the banners posted I think you can relate that I am an avid fan of the tag games - I feel that they commit me to making the dish and then I am serving healthy meals instead of resorting to oh what it - well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it and oh and it gives me the chance to try new dishes especially when the DH is on night shift and I can use ingredients that don't agree with him (intolerance factors)!

Favorite Foods:

Just about anything edible. Though have a dislike for anything overly salty which includes roll mops (pickled herring), olives and pickled onions (a left over from having to peel heaps (I'm talking sacks of the buggers) for dad to pickle. Willing to give most things a try at least (prefer not to know what it is till I eat and pass judgement - then not prejudicial in assessment). After all how can you say it tastes good or not unless you have tasted it and that said sometimes give it another go if it wasn't quite to your tastes the first time it may have not been cooked quite to your tastes the first time).
