about me

Back by popular demand, the pic of SusieQusie & I taken last Oct in Dallas has returned. Andi of LMF seems to feel it belongs here.


My name is Bryson & I will be 2 yrs & 4 mo old on 5/12/08. I'm in the middle of a practice session right now. btw, you may call me Tiger ~ P.S. My golf clubs are my favorite toys & I watch the Golf Channel on TV w/Dad. When the ball goes in the hole, I raise my arm & say "In the hole!"


Why do I love Easter? ~ Because I love chocolate !!

About Me ~ A marriage transplant from Dallas to Iceland when I "retired" in July 2003 & became a "Kitchen Queen", I quickly became a RZ addict thx to SusieQusie, my long-time friend in Dallas who got me well-hooked on RZ. ~ My cooking history is still a work in progress, but has mostly been homestyle, Czech, Tex-Mex & now European. I "mess" w/recipes because I get inspired (or deranged), but more often due to ingredient or expense issues here in Iceland. I'm devoted to the MORE IS BETTER principle: If anything is really good, then more of it is always better - esp butter & garlic! I'm on a mission of discovery & am much more likely to be a prolific reviewer than I am to enter many recipes.

MY REVIEWS ~ The truth is I choose recipes to make that I fully expect to please our palates & luckily that has most freq been the case. I will occ have ingredient issues or pers pref (like everyone), but I don't penalize a recipe in these cases. I will reduce a * rating if I feel an ingredient is excessive (or lacking), if the prep is faulted in some way or when a recipe lacks a certain Wow Factor worthy of 5* IMHO. If I produce a negative result that is inconsistent w/other reviews, I will assume I've done something wrong & won't penalize your recipe. We all know reviews are subjective by their very nature, so pls take no offense. I always try to make constructive comments & do it kindly ... & I welcome the same courtesy in reviews of my recipes.

THANK YOU TO ALL RZ CHEFS ~ I've been blessed w/reviews beyond my expectations. Pls know I appreciate your kind words for my recipes & suggestions you make in them. I also want to thank all the talented RZ photographers who take the extra time required to allow us to "feast w/our eyes". You're the best!

~ This is the time at any given moment in my part of the world.
