about me

Happy Spring!!!




Hi!
I am glad you stopped by my page! You may also know me as Lorie, which is a nickname I have been using on RZ this past year.

And about me? I am a 49yo sah who enjoys reading, cooking, collecting cookbooks, music, floral arranging, and especially....CATS!

I am passionate about Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. Many who knew me as an active member from 2002-2005 might remember that I was a one time pagan turned atheist. Since that time, the Lord has made himself known to me, and I have a deeper understanding now of the world around me.
Pet peeves? I try not to have any. I'd like to think everyone tries to do their best, and if it seems not so, maybe they are having a bad day. Who is perfect? We all have our problems.

I have gazillions of cookbooks (I sell them too but that's another story) so if you are ever in search of some recipe that might be in one of those, just ask!

Favorite Foods: I love a good steak, and potatoes of course! And who can forget bacon? I love salads, and my favorite dessert I think is any kind of fruit pie, especially with ice cream. Positively magical! And unless I forget, I should mention that I am a chilehead (which is a cute name given to those people who enjoy really spicy food!) I am the kind of person who would think it a waste to leave any pepper on the plate at an Asian restaurant and always try to think of ways to beg for more! LOL
I also grow peppers as space allows and will trade seeds upon request. I usually have most of the hottest varieties, including red savina and bhut jolokia, among others.

As for my Recipes:
Not all my recipes are tried and true. I post recipes I have tried and want to save, and I post recipes that I want to try sometime, and want to save. I post no recipe that I wouldn't make first myself.
My personal experience tells me that recipes that "appear" to be tried and true sometimes aren't. I will tell you this: if my recipe has a photo I took on it, then I made it and that's what it looks like. Of course, I have posted recipes that I tried and loved but didn't get a photo. I would never post a recipe I tried and did not have good luck with. And if I posted an untried recipe and try it later, I will make changes if it needs it, or else post on the recipe that it doesn't work.

About my reviews:
I will review fairly and honestly, even if it means giving 1-star. I know some members will not give a 1 or 2 star review. I don't find that to be honest reviewing. Who cuts down a tree without shouting TIMBER? Those who know but don't give fair warning?
I have heard it said that a person can read a recipe and tell if it will work or not, every time. I wonder why they are here and not writing best-selling cookbooks?

About Thank Yous:
I don't send out thank yous for every review I receive. I do appreciate everyone who takes the time to try a recipe I posted. This is my thank-you. In advance. I even thank you for reading this far into my page. And I am thankful to just be able to get to know you, my fellow friends and foodies. Like minds have much fun together!!!
