about me

I live in a coastal town in the southwestern corner of BC. From my living room window I can look across the water to the USA. The town is also a suburb of Vancouver so have the water at my front window and the moutains at my back. From the balcony I have a view of Mount Baker which is beatiful.
I am retired from the airlines so have a lot of time to shop and do hobbies. I enjoy watching the food channel on TV, and can even watch Gordon Ramsey with his language. But I also like meals that are easy to prepare. I do wish there were more truly lactose free recipes available, most that I have found include ingredients that contain milk ie: mayonaise.
I almost never stay to a recipe after the first try - have to add my own touch. However, I do the recipe without changes the first time, out of respect for the chef, there may be subtle flavours that are not too apparent.
I am also a committed singer and belong to two choirs, I also love singing the music from the old musicals though have never done that for the public.

Favorite Foods:

I love Kalimari - if it is cooked properly and not rubbery, and that is very hard to find here. I first tasted it in a club in Australia and loved it. I have always liked fish, almost any kind.
Chicken is my main stay ingredient.
A good steak is a pleasure (I wish I could cook one well) - No organ parts thank you!
Pizza occasionally, I would love more but not good for my heart.
I make a hamburger pattie that my friends love one day I will post that recipe also.
