<p>Really love food - eating it, cooking it, reading about it. I have 3 little boys who I love to pieces and only sometimes want to hide from. Other things that make me happy: sunshine, the smell of freshly mown grass, horseback riding, New York City on the first warm day of spring (everyone is smiling), bergamot, long walks, fresh flowers, summer nights, crossword puzzles, Pearl Jam, history books, footsie pajamas, sunscreen that smells like vacation, anything reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn, peace and quiet. Dislikes: misspelled words on signs and menus, math, whining, being barefoot indoors, feeling cold, the squeaky feeling of glassware when it comes out of the dishwasher, the sound of teeth biting down on an ice cube, and sportscenter. </p>
