A fanatic over Food Network, cookbooks, and wine. Daydreams consist of flavor profiles, and wine pairings. Alas, its just a passion. My regular job is working at a high end grocery store. Oh, and I am a hardcore Finnish fanatic, I am born in Canada, but hold dual citizenship, my parents moved to CAN just months before I was born. I daydream of winning the lottery and being able to jet off to Italy for a cooking vacation! Also, I collect cookbooks..and am up to something like 150..although its not the #, Its the quality..and the inspiration I get from them..they are reference material.
