about me

We live about 40 miles south of San Francisco and 10 miles north of San Jose; in the Heart of Silicon Valley. My husband is retired from Hewlett-Packard/Agilent Technologies after 35 1/2 yrs. I haven't worked outside the home for many years due to health problems. My favorite cookbook is one I designed and printed myself in 1996. I sold it at a boutique I worked at and to friends and relatives. I raised $500.00 and donated all of it to Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Auxiliary at Stanford.

Favorite Foods:

My favorite dish is "Jackaroos" (pork chops) at Outback restaurant. They are sooooooooooo good. I hardly know anything else on their menu I order them so often. My most famous dish is a simple comfort recipe, "Chicken and Noodles". If I'm out of ideas and ask one of my family members for an idea, it usually becomes Chicken and Noodles. My favorite restaurant is "Shadowbrook" in Capitola, on the Pacific shore. Fresh, fresh, fresh seafood and great atmosphere.
