About me

Gender Female
Occupation Retired
Location In a total state of chaos., United States
Introduction I am a retired Flight Attendant, as well as a jack of many other trades and previous ventures. I was diagnosed with a terminal disease (organ related) in 2006. I was given less than two weeks to live and after I beat those odds, I was given less than 6 months to live. Cooking literally saved My life. I finally found My groove which ended up being what I least expected...cooking. I enjoy making others happy with My culinary creations. I live another day to cook another thing. Each new day is a gift. I look forward to sharing My culinary creations with you and exchanging recipes, shortcuts, helpful hints and kitchen bloopers and mishaps with fellow foodies.
Interests Stringed instruments, classical music, punk music, FOOD FOOD FOOD, cheeses, salts, spices and herbs. Kitchen appliances and cookware, olives and anything brined (pickles, vinegars, etc.) Singing, travel, reading, Physics, mathematics, Science.
Favorite Movies Comedies and dramas. It would take quite some time to list My favorites so I will spare you the pain of reading about all of them.
Favorite Music I like all sorts of music (save for gangster rap and the like). I am very fond of music and try to keep an open mind (and ear) to new things.
Favorite Books I enjoy History books a great deal. I enjoy reading about American Presidents as well as WWl and WWll. It may be note worthy to say that I enjoy books on Physics, and works by Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking as well as Newton and Einstein and many more.

If you could be a food what food would you be? I think that I would be butter. Everything is better with butter. I have a freezer full of butter as well as an icebox full of butter (and eggs). Butter is rich, better is decadent, butter melts and mixes well with others. Butter may be the secret to happiness...I think.
