About Me

fast fabulous foodie: Great Lakes, United States; I grew up with basic Betty Crocker cooking (mom) and with Larousse Gastronomique recipes, thanks to dad, who was a foodie long before the term existed. Most of my professional life was spent number-crunching with the EPA & US Department Of Defense as a military procurement auditor but my avocations were the arts and food. I've taught cooking classes, compiled some cookbooks for charity, and had a gourmet catering company for fifteen-plus years. An unexpected season spent as our golf club's chef and banquet manager was an eventful retirement job for a foodie. A wild summer with both homicidal and suicidal moments.... (picture all the kitchen insanity of equipment failure & daily staff problems that we see Gordon Ramsey shrieking & swearing about on TV) but also fun. After 50+ years of cooking, I'm "over" making elaborate dishes and look for shortcuts instead. I began this blog in 2007 out of pure laziness, to end 'typing' recipe requests for friends......its just easier to say "it's on my blog" Now lets cook!
