I like to cook, but I really,REALLY, like to eat. I am retired from the "healthcare" field and my wife (still working....someone has to!!) enjoy the out of doors. Snow skiing in the winter and sea kayaking year around are my passions and tennis and hiking are hers. My favorite cookbook is the next one I will buy. The rule is that if I buy a new one I need to donate one on my shelf (I hate that). Pet peeve? Probably, is that some people will reject a new taste, cuisine, or cultural experience without even a bite of the dish. We are starting a total kitchen remodel (10/01/08) and I am sooooo excited.
