about me

Married with three grown sons. My husband, Wayne, and I are partners with our three sons in a family business. We are so proud of our sons and are most likely guilty of not telling them often enough. When not at work (not often) we like to garden. Since our gardening season is so short up north we've had to have another interest. You guessed it, food.
I love the "Best of Bridge" ladies, have yet to prepare something from their books that doesn't work out. But I love to read all sorts of recipes, and experiment. I have a small collection of old cookbooks, enjoy all the old language, measurements, and ideas that can be found in these old books. Anyone ever needs to know how to "treat a felon", there are good instructions in the White House Cookbook, 1905 edition. One day I'll share!
For the first time ever I measured flour by weight, thanks Alton Brown, and I'll do it this way forever!

Favorite Foods:

Too many favorites to list.
Love soups, broths, stews, etc. I love to bake breads and pies, anything sweet. Love to try new foods but have to be careful because hubby doesn't like certain flavors and sometimes won't eat something because of the name.
All three boys are in the process of moving out or moving on, and have asked that I "teach" them how to cook. I am compiling books of their favorites when I have a chance with the idea that they'll one day be able to cook for themselves and hopefully ask us over to dinner occasionally. My husband is dreaming of the day when he can have a meal on "their couch" for a change. We always did take our meals at the table, but when we weren't looking... I would really love to learn to make GOOD chinese food. I remember having REAL Chinese food in Vancouver's China Town when I was very young, haven't ever had close since. . .it's a kind of goal. Maybe Uncle Bill can help!!
