[Guest guest]

It's wonderful you are where you are today with food.

I love appliances, cookbooks and I can spend my life in the kitchen creating.  I

will make very detailed recipes when I have the time to spend on them.  I'm

passionate about baking.

I love to shop in ethnic markets and try new items.  Everyone is always so

helpful.  I've been doing this since I was around 13.

Cooking with sea veggies and using heep have been favorites of mine.

I need to get a few more recipes for these posted soon.

The seed is in bloom, will it meet an early doom

or survive in a tranquil sea?

Does it face an early end, will it find a real friend,

should it be called humanity?

Will creation of man bring death by his hand

or will life be his destiny?

Probably chai latte's are my comfort food - maybe my addiction.  If I could only

have one food it would probably have to be potatoes.  You can do so much with

them. 

 

Until I went to college I really hated food.  I almost had to be force fed.  I

came from a family of good cooks who loved food - I'm Southern.  I'm the

opposite now.  That was before you heard about anorexa and before skinny was in

fashion; and I certainly was not not eating for outward appearance.  I got so

tired of hearing how skinny I was.  I don't know why I didn't like to eat; but

during my high school years my grandmother was head cook in the school

cafeteria.  And my family would do anything to make me eat. So my grandmother

let me make out the school menu as long as it went by government standards - she

always had approval.  I was fairly popular in that respect as classmates would

put in their bids for what they wanted to eat.  I usually had cherry cobbler for

desert on Fridays.

 

I've went through so many stages with food in my life, going from one extreme to

the other....living to eat was one.  Now, I " m trying to eat more consciously. 

Food is more of an art form with me now.  I love beautiful dishes and kitchen

appliances, and organic, and learning about and using various plants and herbs,

etc.  I was always building up to this; but it's been a long process for me.
