about me

I am a mother of two with another one on the way! I am married to an Englishman and we own a small business in our local area. We live in a very small town called Rough and Ready (yes there really is a place called Rough and Ready!) I am a part-time writer and full time mom. My kids were born 15 months apart and keep me so busy I barely have enough time to cook and no time at all for my other passion, horseback riding. I once had four horses but am down to two; my Arab mare Argo and old Denver. Both of them spend the vast majority of their time standing around in my back yard eating hay. I get to feed them and look at them, but until my kids are all in school (and I stop having more kids) that's about it.

Favorite Foods:

My husband and I will eat almost anything. We like really painfully spicy food (chilies, curries, salsa, etc.), anything with chocolate, and anything weird or exotic (stopping short of entrails and bugs). I love to cook and especially like trying recipes from other countries and cooking old favorites for friends. And I love all-American cooking, too (sometimes nothing beats a cheeseburger).

I love Recipezaar and I always look here first whenever I am looking for a new recipe. I try my best to review the recipes I really like, but I'm a firm believer in only giving four and five star reviews (if I don't like something, I figure it is because my tastes just aren't suited to it, or I did something wrong when I prepared it). It really bugs me when people make some significant changes to a recipe, or when they clearly do something wrong and then they give a one or two star review afterwards. Personally, I'd rather encourage than discourage the people on this site.

Happy cooking!
