Kayne

about me

I originally joined the site as "aussiekarin", but decided instead to go with my nickname - Kayne. Sorry if this causes any confusion! I moved to the US from Australia in 1970, and apart from three years in Germanyhave been here the whole time. However, still consider myself an Australian, although I was actually born in Holland. Since I come from such a diversified background, my cooking is rather strange at times. Many times it is a combiniation of Dutch, Aussie / English, German and American. I'm not really much of a cook, but enjoy it, nevertheless. I just wish I knew more and could do more - without a recipe! I'm retired now, so one of my goals is to really learn to cook. I intend to enjoy my retirement, doing what I never had time to do before. Since joining Recipezaar in November, 2006, I find that my cooking has changed somewhat. I'm more adventurous, willing to try new and more varied tastes, and combinations, and just about all of what I prepare is edible. Lately, due to a major life change, I've been letting my cooking go, but hopefully that will change one day. Oddly, I miss it, more than I ever thought I would!!!!!

Favorite Foods:

My favorite dish to cook? That's a good one! I found a vegetable casserole one time that I love. It's easy and wonderful for family get togethers. My kids love it. However, due to it's size, I only do it for family get togethers. What dish am I famous for? Burnt!!!!! I don't really have a favorite restaurant. Outback Steakhouse would be one, although there is nothing Aussie about the food - only the ambiance has an Aussie flavor. I also like Chinese and Japanese food. Not much of a fan of Italian, I'm afraid, since pasta is not my favorite. However, when it comes to just everday food, I don't think I'm too picky. And since joining Recipezaar, I've enjoyed a wider variety of tastes and flavors. So, my favorite will probably change some day. At which time, I will update "my page" again!
