about me

There I am sitting in front of the computer, one of my favorite spots in the house. When I'm not at the computer, I enjoy cooking, entertaining and traveling.

See my icon? It is an old Royal typewriter. My father had one just like it that he gave me when I was in college. It had one key that stuck, but I typed all my term papers on that old thing. Whenever I see that icon I remember those happy days.

Favorite Foods:

I appreciate American food from all the regions of our nation. I was born and raised in the southwest, and the foods from that area are colorful and versatile, heavily influenced by mainstream America, Spain and the Indians of that area. My southern mother and grandmother taught me southern cooking which is an ecclectic mixture from Britain, Spain, France, Africa and the Caribbean.

My Scandinavian father said the best thing about marrying my mother was that he never had to eat Lutefiske again, lol. I understand that sentiment. I never drank another glass of prune juice once I moved away from home.

I like all foreign cuisines. I try to find the best dishes from other countries and incorporate special recipes into my menus.
