About me
Currently I'm helping a nonprofit organization implement character building and manners classes into public schools. I also am an organic skin care formulator, which carries over into my cooking when possible. I love gardening, photography and traveling. Not much into lots of "stuff", but I do like collecting antique handmade oriental mud figures -- beautiful art pieces. I live outside of Nashville in the country on about 3 acres. My son-in-law is an up-and-coming master chef in L.A., from whom I've learned a lot. He's had quite a few write-ups on his original recipes. Sometimes I'm a bit intimidated by his cooking abilities, but I'm definitely the winner in the baking department. **wink** "Less is more" is my mantra -- but that doesn't always apply to recipes! I do feel it's important to be "prepared" in case of emergencies (who knows what will happen?) and would like to become more proficient with the basics and "winging" it.
