If the kitchen is the heart of a home, then my kitchen is where I am with family and friends who cook with me and eat the food we fix.  My smallest kitchen was either on the Valkyrie (a 57 foot Swan sailboat) or my first apartment in St. Louis.  Today, I have a dream kitchen in Dallas and find myself cooking in Seattle, Portland, Morro Bay, New Era, Swarthmore and across the Atlantic.  My kitchen is coast to coast and beyond.
In 2007 I cooked with Karen in the Netherlands. Did you hear us laughing?

How old am I? Let’s just say I’m planning a really big 70th birthday in a couple of years. My mother always told me one of the oddest things she used to say and believe was telling her mother “When I’m big and you’re little”. . . .Well, I’m still not very big and I’m waiting to grow up.

I’m married to my best friend for a very long time. We have two married sons and three grandchildren with another along this month (February 2012).
