The Short (dis)Order Cook

About Me

I'm a home cook, an amateur singer, dancer and actor, an equestrian, and a huge goofball. (I have a day job too, but that's boring.)

I love to cook, although I'm a bit of a bumbler in the kitchen. What I really enjoy is experimenting in the kitchen and putting my own twist on other people's recipes. I also enjoy cobbling together multipe recipes into my own creations.

I love entertaining and cooking for people and often say that I live to give dinner parties.

I admit to being a picky eater. I don't like olives, seafood, blue cheeses, and a few other things. I'm a failure as a "foodie" but I still am a lover of all kinds of food. I love all food ethnicities (if not all foods) and I enjoy everything from local greasy spoons to 5-star restaurants.

I'm married to a guy who is an even pickier eater than I am. Unfortunately, he's picky about different things. One of my biggest kitchen challenges is cooking around our respective tastes and intolerances and making things we both love.

Cooking is a fantastic creative process, so is writing. I do both with incredible relish.

If you drive on a parkway why don't they make the whole plane out of that?

Why not open your front with the car keys and see if you can start up the house and drive it around the block?
