About me
25 years in the restaurant business, front of the house, not in the kitchen. Now I've retired from slingin' someone elses hash and found my groove in my own kitchen. San Diego native transplant to Connecticut. Wow what a culture shock to the tastebuds! My concubine and his son say not only are my 5 cats spoiled, but they're GOURMET SPOILED! They gather at my feet at supper time, knowing full well I'm the sharing type. They've got me so wrapped around their little paws! I am a certified Cataholic! They're my "Childrens" Pairing wine w/ food has become a hobby of mine, although I sure wish I was on the west coast doing this pairing, nothing beats California grapes! My likes are rather eclectic when it comes to food, hence, size elastic. If it's got garlic, onions, cheese or a cream sauce, count me in! My refrigerator purchase was based on "how big is the cheese drawer"!! There's a minimum of at least 15 different kinds in there at all times. I live by the old school: Come into my home, expect to eat!
