I'm a gluten-intolerant, carb-conscious, disco-loving chocoholic with a swooning weakness for Theo's 91% Venezuelan dark chocolate.  Once upon a time--and for nearly two decades--I was a vegetarian, but it didn't agree with my health.  Thus I am now an omnivore.  While I believe seafood is essential for good health, I do respect the views and diets of my veg friends.  I try to eat organic foods when my budget allows it.  I avoid soy protein because I believe it to be unhealthful.  I also try to avoid the many incarnations of MSG not because I believe them to be terribly detrimental to health--though they may be--but because they rev up my appetite fiercely.  When I have free time I love nothing more than listening to KC & The Sunshine Band and whipping up some low-carb chocolate cheesecake.   I aspire to being a better cook with fancy knife skills, but I get by with my pedestrian talents and recipes from the brilliants likes of George and Rachel Stella.

 

My biggest culinary dream?  Finding a delicious, chewy low-carb, gluten-free brownie recipe.

 

My darkest culinary nightmare?  That at present, due to a health condition, I cannot consume foods with any significant amount of Vitamin K.  That leaves out most veggies!  (Sniffle...)

 

My culinary heroine? Linda the generous and wonderful.

 

Overall, I'm just a happy little infp with a big appetite for scrumptious food and a love for kind people.

I love low-carb cheesecake, pumpkin rolls and Cougar Gold Soup.  When I'm in a healthful mood, I revel in high quality salmon and get a kick out of well-prepared shrimp.  Peanut butter tempts me to its jar on a regular basis.

 

But more than anything?

 

Chocolate Rules My World.
