About me
H'lo all. I'm Ayngel, or Tam, take your pick. I was born in Nebraska, raised in Central New York State, have lived in West Germany, Alabama, Oregon, Utah, Colorado, Texas, and currently reside in Arizona. ~Laughs~ And everywhere I've lived, I've gotten to know and love the food! I'm still not sure if I love cooking it the most or eating it. It's pretty much a 50/50. I was diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago, and now we've thrown in the high cholesterol, high blood pressure and kidney cancer, so I'm learning a whole new way of cooking. Right now I'm discovering how to replace sugars and salts with spices and herbs. I especially enjoy exploring natural food sources, edible wild plants, and what I can make of them. To me, cooking is an art form. It's balance. The colors, textures, flavors should compliment each other... on the plate as well as on the tongue. Life is always an adventure, for me, especially in the kitchen!
