Introduction	I consider myself to be an accomplished cook and for many years food has been a passion for me, which brings me to my "project" of cooking all the recipes in the 2 binders my younger self made as well as the clipped recipes of both my grandmothers. For as many recipes as I have, I have always been a dash of that, pinch of this chef so cooking and conforming to ingredient lists, and god forbid, reading and following the instructions! This maybe my greatest challenge of all.
Interests	Food!, comfort food, gourmet food, foreign cuisine, Wine, Beer, Cocktails, I like dining out almost as much as I like cooking therefore I am a avid "yelper", bacon.
Favorite Movies	That was Then, This is Now, Hope Floats, Lords of Dogtown, Paradise Lost - the documentry of the West Memphis 3.
Favorite Music	Five Am, Zucchero, Miguel Bose, Pat Jordan Band, Miggs

You've been invited to a fancy ball but the only thing you have to wear is an orange wooly jumper. What shoes do you wear?

Christian Lauboutin's of course! Cork Heel, brown suede... those suckers could dress up anything.
