I retired early from the corporate rat race and I'm enjoying myself with reckless abandon. I try to make a couple of new recipes every week. Bread making has been a lot of fun lately, and I'm trying to learn new techniques with vegetables. Although I want to concentrate on healthier cooking, I always seem to find recipes that move me in the opposite direction. One of my favorite games is to open the refrigerator and pantry and see what I can do with what is on hand. My most dazzling accomplishment recently (not on a whim I assure you) was to make the famous Death by Chocolate cake by Marcel Desaulniers. It was a hit!!!! In addition to cooking, I knit, crochet, garden, play the piano, read voraciously and write devotionals and essays. Favorite Chefs: Ina Garten, Julia Child, Sara Moulton & Tyler Florence Favorite Cookbook: All of the Cook's Illustrated books Favorite Magazine: Cook's Illustrated - a must have for anyone who likes to cook. I have been married to the same man for 37 years and enjoy spending time on the Chesapeake Bay on our boat Sundowner. Our only child is a 10 year old golden retriever named Butterscotch - alias 'The B'.
