Pat from Ohio

about me

I live in Cincinnati and I am a Magistrate in the Probate Court. I love to cook and recently lost 25 pounds by eating my own cooking instead of eating out so often (as well as exercising). My best cooking buddies are two Siamese babies named Watson (male seal point) and Cricket (female chocolate point). I have an advanced degree in science and if you too are a scientist you'll understand the cat's names from famous molecular geneticists.

For fun I am an accomplished recurve archer and I've trained at the Olympic Training Center. I was trying for the 2004 olympic team but life got in the way. I fly fish, shoot skeet and pistol shoot.

I purchased a Sony Clie PDA and PDA Cookbook (www.wakefieldsoft.com) and I now have all my recipes in my pocketbook when I go to the store. No more leaving without all the necessary ingredients. It has made cooking much easier and more fun. All my recipes are also on my computer - if you are into technology I highly recommend owning a handheld and PDA Cookbook.

Favorite Foods:

Indian food is by far my favorite. I am taking an Indian cooking class but I haven't tried to make any dishes myself yet. There is a local, small restaurant that serves outstanding Indian food and is my favorite restaurant. I traveled throughout India on a business trip and developed a great appreciation for the people, culture and above all, food.
