about me

DH and I live on a working farm in southern Maine. For fun I like to garden, cook, read, remodel, and keep in touch with family and friends.

We have three grown children of my DH's. They all live in California. No grandkids yet — not that we're aware of anyway! We also have two adorable indoor cats and three outdoor cats.

I work full time and run a hospitality business full time (i.e., I have two full-time jobs).

DH is picky eater. Me, from midwest, became a "foodie" after living in San Francisco Bay Area for most of my adult life; I am originally from Dayton, Ohio. DH is native of SF.

Like many of you I've read about, we watch a lot of Food Network TV, in addition, a lot of HGTV as well.

Favorite Foods:

I like to try a variety of cuisines. Japanese cuisine is my favorite, although my heritage is Finnish so I try out those recipes. Basically, I haven't met a cuisine I don't like — that's the short list!

We grow rhubarb and asparagus, and assorted vegetables during our short growing season.

My favorite cookbooks are:

Joy of Cooking,
Any books by James Peterson,
Any Cooks Illustrated books or magazines (I have a very large collection),
Lora Brody's Pizza, Focaccia, Flat, and Filled Breads From Your Bread Machine — Perfect Every Time
