"I am not a glutton, I'm an explorer of food..."

I like to play with my food

I am by no stretch of the imagination a chef of any short. 

I love to cook, and when I do so, I pour my heart into my dishes.

I think we should eat colorful foods that are beautifully presented on the plate.

I'm not a baker, but I hope to be one day. 

I don't like to measure when I'm cooking, but I love fancy, stainless steel measuring teaspoons. 

I'm a messy, messy cook.

I apologize in advance for anything I said when I was hungry. 

 I'm a self proclaimed terrible, horrible, no-good , very bad dishwasher.

I throw the leftover salt that sticks to my fingertips over my right shoulder no matter whose kitchen I'm in.

I think life is too short to not eat delicious things that might clog your arteries. 

Mater of fact, if I had any say in the matter, I'd choose: (drumroll please) death by French pasty filled arteries. 

Plain and simple, food gives me joy and makes life oh so sweet. I couldn't imagine a philosophy where someone viewed food solely as fuel. To me, life wouldn't be worth living without deliciously satisfying, life giving nutrition! 

I hope you enjoy what I share on this portion of my website as best you can. My measuring directions will most likely be a handful here, a scoop there, pinch of this, dash of that... if nothing else, just enjoy the photos. 

Throw all caution to the wind when it comes to exploring your palate and your kitchen I say!
