FatGourmand
Spokane WA
As my ID would suggest, I love to eat great tasting, good looking and exotic foods. I am especially fond of wine with food. I am a self taught cook (not chef), and am still learning technique, presentation and menu planning. Nutritionally, I favor seafood and poultry dishes to control FAT. I have analysed all the diets and, until the discovery of the Glycemic Index, had concluded that diets do not work. Sandra Woodruff's Low Fat regimen probably came the closest. Having adjusted the protein to carbs ratio in my cooking I am changing the permanent eating habits of my family (wife Liz and twins (17) Stephen and Trudy. Menu planning is King!
We live in Spokane, WA, 30 miles west of Coeur d'Alene, ID, close to Washington wine country (Walla Walla, Red Mountain, Columbia Valley and Yakima Valley appellations). Spokane currently has 20 active wineries making some very tasty products. Other than food & wine, my interests are reading, music, fishing and traveling. We are a Little League family and Liz is an elementary school teacher. We like to drive, do wine tours and camp at our many local lakes. Want to visit Spokane? I'd be glad to give you tips on where and when. E-mail me anytime.
