about me

I am a semi-retired graphic designer and American ex-pat living on 2.5 acres on a beautiful river in the country. Now that I am semi-retired (and my husband is retired) we have time and no money so we are baking everything from scratch and have started a vegetable garden.
I don't bother with cookbooks much now that I've found Recipezaar. Hardly a day goes by that I don't make something from the Zaar and my husband often asks "what are we going to make today".
Mid-way through 2009 my husband found out he had a gluten allergy so we've been experimenting and tweaking gluten-free recipes with mostly great results.
We go out with a walking group every second week, there is so much beautiful scenery on New Zealand's West Coast.

Favorite Foods:

Almost anything but I detest eggplant. I am a cookie monster and love chocolate.
My favorite restaurant is in Christchurch. It is Burmese and is called The Bodhi Tree. Impossible to describe but if you like Indian, Chinese and Thai food you will love it.
