Getting to know Me, part 2

My favorite weird food: cheese toast where the bread isn't burned but the cheese is. Lucky for me, my partner has perfected the method of making cheese toast this way!

South Africa: country where I think the best wines currently come from! I've bought SA wines 3 out of 4 times at the past four wine tastings I've attended. (The oddball was from Portugal.)

My least favorite herb: definitely cilantro. I can't stand it. It tastes like soap. Ick!





Do I consider myself a "foodie": No, not if you consider a foodie to be a snob. I just enjoy food --- preparing it, serving it, and eating it.
I will try anything once -- it's how I found out I don't fancy anchovies or Phoenix Claws, but that I love green olives, edamame, and raw tuna.


Am I afraid to eat American beef? Sometimes. I only use soy burger in my spaghetti recipes, but there are times I feel I just gotta have a big juicy all-meat burger from Hut's or I'll die!

What is my most guilty eating pleasure? Homemade vanilla buttercream icing and a spoon.
