Location:

West Michigan

Best meal I ever ate:

Not a meal, but a filet mignon w/ bernaise many years ago in Holland, MI. Second place, a salt encrusted baked potato in South Africa. I haven't gotten around much so I've been limited mostly to fare available in Michigan.

My current drink of choice:

Honestly, Diet Mt. Dew. I really appreciate a nice cuppa peppermint tea w/ cream and a little sweetener or strong coffee w/ the same.

I really wish I could:

Travel the world, eating and drinking what I can wherever I go (with my Hubby!)

My "Go-to" dinner party dish:

A salad of iceberg and romaine lettuce with scallions, chow mein noodles, candied almonds and a poppyseed dressing.

My favorite comfort food:

Oh, the shame. Canned corn mixed in equal parts with instant (Idahoan, prepared) potatoe's. Second, a version of Welsh Rarebit made with a bechemel w/ onion and velvetta over toast.

My top 5 favorite restaurants:

I'm sadly lacking in good restaurants here. Only one notable mention: Los Amigos here in Muskegon. Very good mexican food with a delicious Queso Fundido (can't find a chorizo anywhere as good as their's).

My most tattered cookbooks:

Joy of Cooking, given to me by my Grandmother in 1991 (last copyright 1975). Despite the internet, I always check with Joy.
