'...Who am I? Now who would actually say, “Well, I am…short with plenty of belly mass…rolls of back fat…feed me the cow, now…shopaholic…looking for the owner of a Bugatti Veyron"…type of gal. If most profiles read this way, then this searching process would be quick and short.
So, this is how I read…
I am honest...outgoing...energetic...NOT high maintenance, well, unless you consider that I do like the toilet seat down especially in the middle of the night, then yes I am...other than that, no I am not.
I enjoy being active and love to travel - hiking in Yosemite, camping at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, skydiving in the midwest, scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef, backpacking alone through Europe, sunbathing on the beaches of Rio, drinking wine in Tuscany, golfing in Whistler…Life is what you make of it and I only have one shot at it.
If I am not traveling, I enjoy just about anything and everything...movies on a rainy/sunny day, catching the world series at a nearby pub, UCLA football games, local festivals, driving up the coast, Big Bear for the annual chili cook off, golfing at De Bell $3 course, my failed attempts at surfing, walks in the neighborhood, board games with friends, wearing heels or flip flops, glass of cabernet or a pint of Guinness, destroying the kitchen while cooking...
Hmmmmmm...I may cook more like Bridget Jones then Wolfgang Puck, but I am pretty sure that most of those on Top Chef have had their accidental version of blue soup. Early on in my culinary days, I found out that if you want a hard boiled egg cooked in a hurry, then DO NOT - put an egg in your favorite mug filled with water...inside a microwave...on high for 3 minutes. Results: Obliterated mug and a future shopping trip for a new micro. Other than that, and a few other mishaps, I have come a long way. Oh, and if you know how to make Drunken Spaghetti, Firenze-Italia style, than I am sold! Mamma mia!!!
