EQJunkie

about me

I am 44 years old living in the same town I have lived in my whole life. I am the third of six children to a couple of working parents, so helping out in the kitchen (and the yard and the garden, etc) while I was growing up was mandatory. Needless to say, as a result, I learned how to cook for a family of eight on a budget My mother was genius when it came to daily preparing delicious meals for a large family! My mother was the daughter of a german farmer in rural Pennsylvania and old habits die hard, so alot of country cooking, homemade breads, biscuits and the like crossed our table on a regular basis. I am now the mother of a lovely daughter, now 19, and my mother has passed away. The old family favorites still find their way to our dinner table along with many many new favorites...only in much smaller quantities! Kit and I love trying new things, or just browsing through cookbooks to "ooooh" and "aahhh" at the pictures.

Origin of "EQJunkie". "EQ" = Everquest (an online MMORPG)...a game I play often.

Favorite Foods:

I love it all! From elaborate, complex meals to a meal of just tuna on toast with pickled beets on the side.

Favorite dish to cook: Any of mum's old dishes. They were all so wonderful and simple to prepare.

Dish I'm famous for? My brother says I have a gift for baking cookies. Everyone else thinks my macaroni salad is just out of this world.

Favorite restaurant: I rarely eat out, but when I do, my favorite place to go is a Chinese restaurant in Galipolis, Ohio.
