Zucchini, it's as if people don’t even know a good ingredient until they start tasting my food. There are, wait I have a lot of picky friends, and it ends up being the person who says they don’t like something, until they taste my dishes. I'm honestly a trickster and they know it, but seem to always get stuck in the trap. Yep, Ex boyfriend time; I was cooking him some food, and he began to try to look over my shoulder, when I started to ask him what are you going to find out what’s in it, and then stop eating my cooking?

Although, my adrenalin is rushing right now, because I want to cook so much food, and finish my cook books, and of coarse get back to blogging. For those of you who haven't seen it or heard of Julie and Julia, I will NOT spoil it for you. It’s about two different true stories, and how they moved to a location because of their husbands jobs. Julie decides to challenge herself to finish something in life. She has always been someone to start a task or even writing a book and doesn’t finish.
