At the age of 30, I wouldn't eat fish. Yuck, fish?! A few, or more years later, I am reformed & even make my own sushi. I am a huge fan of comfort food & the classics. I learned that if prepared properly, I will eat just about anything although I don't want to know what it is. I draw the line at offal, fish-heads, chicken feet, head cheese and the ever memorable: pregnant smelt. I'll leave that to the Stuart & Bill: Have fun boys!

I wore “fry-goggles” back in the day.  “Fry- goggles” …

Appetizing Ginger Shrimp Appetizer

Peeled & Deveined Shrimp

I am rarely caught unprepared but on one occasion, procrastination worked out marvellously.  A few hours before a pot luck dinner, that I was supposed to supply an appetizer for, I was digging through my freezer wondering what could I possibly throw together.  I came up with a bag of frozen peas & a bag …
