    Forget the Best Seller List--I prefer cookbooks!

    My Journal

    I have no recent activity to share.

    About Me

    My husband & I are both retired from health fields and I admit being a computer junkie--a fair share of that time on Zaar. 4 great children, their great spouses and 8 great grandchildren are my joy! 

    Being raised in Central and South America by Scandinavian parents makes me at home with a wide range of foods and tastes--but not necessarily the great cook my mother was. The first utterance out of her mouth when one walked in the door was not "Hello" but, "Have you eaten yet?" I consult recipes quite often which are probably my favorite reading material. Also, I certainly want to steer clear of serving the same meal for each day of the week that I understand my husband's mother practiced. Oh, dear! I enjoy sharing recipe finds with my daughters & d's-in-law.

    Favorite Foods

    Since there's a good Tex-Mex restaurant on every corner in San Antonio (yessssss!) I never fix it myself. Puffy Tacos are a San Antonio creation--the "raw" corn tortilla is deep fried to puffy bubbled out and quickly folded & drained, then filled with beef/chicken, etc. When done right they're great.
    I like a variety of foods except squiggly slimy things. My husband is always appreciative of anything I prepare (I call him Mikey) as long as I avoid--as far as he knows--his rather lengthy list of "I don't likes"--olives, cheese, nuts, mayonnaise, seafood, avocado, coconut, etc.
    One of my favorite (and simple)  traditional meals is "Pea Soup & Pancakes" (Green Split Pea Soup followed by Swedish Pancakes) when it's cold outside, which isn't too often in SA. White Bratwurst (halved lengthwise, fried), boiled new potatoes with a touch of Dill, grated carrots with a little lemon & sugar and some Bavarian sauerkraut--ummmmmm--good stuff, and so quick. I'm no chef and therefore content to appreciate and benefit from all the great Zaar contributors!
    By the way, check out SAN ANTONIO--there's always something going on. Try FIESTA in April!
