about me:

I have been cooking since I was three and putting dinner on the table since I was thirteen. I view food as a universal language. A few years ago I attended culinary school to earn my diploma in French Pastry Arts. I am a Graduate of L Academie de Cuisine. Well prepared food is a true joy of life.

favorite foods:

Seafood, fish, chicken, beef, pork chops, ham and bacon. Pasta is a biggie. Must haves are garden fresh fruits and vegetables. I adore frozen treats, French pastry, cakes, cookies, chocolate and pies. I do not care for hot, very spicy or extreme, unique foods. My palate is simple yet profound.

My sister cooks the tastiest pork chops and then makes gravy to cover the mashed potatoes. Same recipe.

Nice! I have a small pumpkin, his name is Clyde and maybe he wouldn\'t mind being turned into tarts and a candle holder.

Fast, simple and easy. These will go quite well with my raspberry puree. A dollop on the tops of the shortbread cookies and they will look like jewels. I also enjoy them long and dipped into good chocolate.

I confess, I have never watched the whole movie. Just bits and pieces. However I might choose it from Netflix and check it out. When I bake bread, the slice I enjoy eating the most is the end slice. Next time I will prepare this recipe using the end pieces from my bread loaf. I had never heard of this recipe before now. Very inventive idea.

My niece said she made my recipe but used sausage instead of bacon and it was delicious.

I am absolutely hooked on all sorts of pasta and this new dish makes my mouth water. You have a way of making your food look so ... \"I\'m ready for you to sit down and eat.\"

Sounds really inventive and scrumptious. I am a huge fan of ice cream. I just might use my ice cream maker, I have the same one, for Thanksgiving, with the exception that I will most likely scoop a large portion for the real apple pie. A la mode, for sure!

    My wife is always wanting me to let her cook. She works all day and I work around here all day. Even when my business was at its peak, I still found time to cook, clean, do laundry and attend to the ‘fix-it’ list. That’s also along with rebuilding two bathrooms, a deck and a kitchen. Our agreement is that she can cook on the weekends.

    Last nights dinner was simple but good. Tonight, however, I have an official request; Pizza! My wife has been on a rather strict diet for about 8 months now. She and I both are dying for a pizza. I have been cooking to please her and keep her on track with her diet. So tonight, screw the diet! It’s pizza: A plain pepperoni and cheese for me and a white pizza for her; made from scratch.
