CHILI SPICE

about me

I AM A MARRIED MOTHER OF 3. COOKING IS A PASSION OF MINE. FINE FOOD MARKETS AND GROCERY STORES ARE MY "HANG OUTS". I LOVE THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO END IN LEARNING. I ENJOY THE WHOLE PROCESS OF COOKING, FROM EXPERIMENTING, FINDING A NEW RECIPE, GROCERY SHOPPING — RIGHT TO THE DINNER TABLE. MY FAMILY APPRECIATES MY EFFORTS AND ENJOYS OUR MEALS. MY CHILDREN'S MINDS ARE OPEN TO ALL TYPES OF FOOD (ON A RECENT TRIP TO MEXICO MY 10 YEAR OLD ORDERED "THE QUAIL" FROM A RESTAURANT AND LOVED IT).

Favorite Foods:

MANY ETHNIC FOODS SUCH AS INDIAN & JAPANESE. I CAN'T SAY I REALLY HAVE A FAVORITE FOOD BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL SO DIFFERENT. I DO ENJOY SPICY FOODS (AND EVEN LOVE THE LOOK OF THE DIFFERENT FRESH HOT PEPPERS). OVERLY PROCESSED, FAST OR FRIED FOODS ARE NOT FOR ME! MY FIRST REAL INTRODUCTION TO PREPARING FOOD WAS BAKING. I WORKED IN A BAKERY, DECORATING CAKES AND COOKIES (THIS WAS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR ME AS I LOVED MY SWEETS). UNFORTUNATELY, WHEN PREGNANT WITH MY YOUNGEST HE SOMEHOW "STOLE" MY SWEET TOOTH!?? EATING SOMETHING SWEET NOW DOESN'T AGREE WITH ME. ITS BEEN OVER TEN YEARS SINCE I HAVE EVEN HAD A CHOCOLATE BAR!
