About me
I grew up surrounded by some strong Southern cooks, including my mother and grandmother, who were patient teachers and always delighted in having me in the kitchen with them. They taught me about food and the gift of preparing meals for those you love. As such, to me food is all about love, celebration, family, home and belonging. Food evokes memories. Food brings people together. Food is sensual; it appeals to all the senses. Cooking is therapeutic for me. Cooking is a passion. Cooking is fun. ~ I work in revenue/finance by day and spend my other hours celebrating the things I care about: reading, music, movies, college football and basketball, baseball, cooking, co-cooking and my boyfriend, friends and family. ~ I am originally from East TN (near Chattanooga) and graduated from the University of TN (go Vols!). I have lived in Central Florida for almost 12 years and have no children. I was married once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away, but have been divorced for about 13 years. I love growing herbs and working on my house and in my yard. I am having a lot of fun and doing things I've always wanted to do and trying new things as I find them. Life is good....enjoy it. ~ Vickie
