My interests and hobbies: Reading, hiking, bicycling, doing things with my family and of course, cooking! I also enjoy doing group exercise classes at a local fitness center.
Managing to put delicious, creative meals on the table most nights of the week in spite of a busy work and volunteer schedule. I know this makes home a memorable place. My kids and husband tell me almost everyday how much they appreciate the great meals. I love online cooking sites for finding great recipes.
In the earliest weeks of our marriage, I did not realize that when a certain casserole recipe called for rice, it meant quick cooking rice. Even at such an early stage, I was determined to prepare healthy food and so I purchased brown rice. We had company over that night. When everyone bit in, there was silence. It was like eating bird shot. Then there was the other early marriage incident where I discovered that pyrex is not suitable for stovetop cooking. Luckily no one was injured by the schrapnel from the explosion!
Here's an interesting quote I ran across recently: "Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy." That's from Dale Carnegie.
