I am a home cook who is a little teeny tiny wee bit obsessive about food and thinking up food and cooking food and shopping for food and eating food. I lull myself to sleep planning recipes. I DO try to put a healthy twist where possible, provided it won't compromise flavor.

• What is the strangest food you have ever eaten?
  bacon ice cream with blueberry compote and it is DELICIOUS

  Well, now that I have seen all of the great dinner for one recipes, could be anything!!!
• Your most treasured kitchen possession:
  Very fond of my automatic floor cleaner - aka Ginger Snap the JRT. And my onion goggles (used almost daily!) And of course not a POSSESSION, but my co-chef, sous chef, taster, food stylist and IDEA MAN - Mr L
• Your ideal meal:
  rabbit gnocchi with shaved truffles, eggplant parmesan on the side, and a brunello. In Montalcino.

  A goose. My friend roasted a goose for Thanksgiving and now I feel I must too.
• The number of bottles of wine you own:
  around 80
• The ideal number of guests for a dinner party is:

• Kitchen pet peeve:
  People setting stuff all over the counters when I am in there cooking, and I can NOT cook on a dirty stove.

  I just got a collection of military wives cookbooks from my mother in law, they are from the 50s and 60s and they are a hoot!
