About me
I'm a forensic psychologist by trade, and usually work in state prisons. I enjoy the work (and yes, it's very safe---there are guards everywhere! The prisoners who are eligible for mental health services usually have severe problems---lots of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, etc. ---so I feel my training is well-used.
I'm Italian, and come from a home where good food was always present. So I suppose it's no surprise that I love to cook and have collected thousands of recipes---over 800 cheesecake recipes alone! I'm happy to share that cookbook (or any of my other 30+ books) with anyone who send me an email
(drvicky@rcn.com).
I also love to square dance. It's good exercise, and I like it b/c you have to think while you're doing it! Mindless exercise bores me silly, though I do swim laps and lift free weights. For the most part, though, I'd always rather curl up with a good book and usually read about a dozen in a given month. I love mysteries and also books that explore the psychological dynamics of characters, For mysteries, my favorite authors are Robert Parker, Lisa Scottoline and Sara Paretsky. For the character-type books, I loev Kristin Hannah, Emilie Richards and Luanne Rice.
My Favorite Foods
I love to make special, showy desserts and hearty main-dish salads and soups. I also make a cookbook comprised of my favorite recipes for the past year and give copies to all my family & friends. After about 15 years of doing this project, I pretty much have all the kinks worked out, so if anyone wants to know how to do it, just send me an email. (See above for address.)
