<p>Hey all! I am a weekend cook....hence the lazy gourmet title.</p>
<p><br />I'm a veterinary technician with an animal shelter in Chicago. I take care of approximately 150 cats and 20 dogs on any one day in the rehabilitation unit. It's a good feeling job. <br /><br />I've been married to a keeper who I just celebrated my 13th anniversary with. We have our furry children - right now seven cats, two rabbits and two guinea pigs, along with my current foster dog who is recovering from a stint at a puppy mill (BOO HISS PUPPY MILLS). <br /><br />So enjoy my recipes! <br /><br />lazy</p>
