Journey 88

about me

The photo above is of our bad boy Remington. He was named after a Charles Wysocki painting and came into our lives as a wild and desperate stray. It took two years to tame him and now he is a big baby. He shares his domain with Frederick Norris the Literate (also named after a Wysocki painting and who fell from the sky into our front yard one cold November night and never left) and Snoopy, a petite pastel calico who is a grumpy old lady that growls like a lion at the other two. Our beloved hiking dog died June 8th at age 15. RIP, Buddy!
I live in a small town with a big university and have never lived anywhere else. I homeschooled my daughters and now one is away at university and the other is in community college. I have lots of experience cooking for large groups, including last summer's job preparing three meals a day for ninety people at a girls' camp. I prefer my current job at a small coffee shop where I make quiche and pasta salad a couple days a week. My younger daughter and I are Pampered Chef consultants to raise money for her college fund.! I have been married for 24 years and both sets of parents live nearby.

Favorite Foods:

Comfort food is a specialty but I am trying to learn to make old recipes acceptable to my vegetarian daughters. DH is still (and always will be) eating meat and fish, so he gets lots of things cooked on the grill. I love to bake and I am learning some vegan muffin recipes to make at the coffee shop.
We love to eat out and our favorite restaurant is a regional chain called Macado's.
