Favorite Music

I enjoy nearly all music, but particularly enjoy smooth jazz and R&B. I also love rock music (most of the time), but can take or leave mostcountry music.

Favorite Books

I love cook books, craft books & gardening books. My favorite novels are usually mystery books. Top mystery authors at the moment are Giles Blunt, Kathy Reichs, Elizabeth George and the "Blue Shoes & Happiness" series by Alexander McCall Smith.

Favorite Crafts

I have a lot of interests in crafts, but am a master of none. Am trying to learn patchwork, knitting and sewing simple items. I do love to cook & like trying different types of cuisine. I host theme dinners for my friends every month or so.

About Me

I am married to a wonderful guy and have a 16 year old son. We live on Manitoulin Island - the world's largest freshwater island. (Northern Lake Huron close to Georgian Bay) I love the outdoors and travelling. My favorite colours tend to be jewel tones, but I'm not picky.

What I like...

I love chocolate, especially dark (no fruit - fairly plain), cute note cards, vintage or interesting buttons and fabric, teabags (herbal or regular wrapped), ribbons, pretty beads for crafting. I'm crazy about dogs and cats and other animals - I am especially fond of dachshunds (wiener dogs).

Canada Post

Just a note to let you know that although I think I live in a wonderful country, the postal system is dismally slow. If things are slow getting there, please email me and I'll let you know when it was sent.

Who am I?

I find as I grow older that I am increasingly in love with our earth and concerned about the way we treat it. I also find myself becoming more gentle with people and more open to new ideas and philosophies. I am trying to do something creative every day and also want to try new things. For reasons beyond my control my career life is most likely over, so I am fimdimg new ways to measure my worth. Hope that makes some sense to you.

Favorite Television

I enjoy watching American Idol, Canadian Idol, Amazing Race, Survivor, CSI, Criminal Minds and the Food Network.

Apron Swap

I am "vertically challenged". I'm only 5' tall and of medium build. In the stores, my size is about a size 8. In sewing patterns, I am about a size 14. I think I would prefer a full apron, but will be happy no matter what. I absolutely love vintage 40's style and retro looks, but again I am not picky!

Comment: Great recipe...I have a similar one,,but doesn't use cream cheese,,more of a vegan dish...but I'm not vegan and I'm trying this on soon. Thank you
Response: I'm sure you'll like it - my family loves it! Low fat cream cheese is fine - sometimes I buy the herbed cream cheese. Yummy.
