ABOUT THIS COOK:

As my occupation says, I am a Jill of all trades but mistress of none...LOL! That isn't actually quite accurate...I am whiz on computers and I could probably give most professional chefs a good run for their money. My tastes and interests are as eclectic as the world is big. I will try ALMOST anything at least once.

• What is the strangest food you have ever eaten?
  Can't think of anything off-hand....

• What do you cook when home alone?
  I prefer to cook lots of veggies and ethnic dishes, usually Tex-Mex/Southwestern...or burgers...

• Your most treasured kitchen possession:
  I would have to say my cookbooks (especially my grandma's recipes, 1960s edition of BH&G red plaid cookbook, and my Campbell's soup cookbook circa early 1970s); my KitchenAid stand mixer and my CrockPot.

• The ideal number of guests for a dinner party is:
  6-8; I don't especially like large crowds. I prefer more intimate gatherings.
