Confessions of a Lifelong Food Junkie

I love food! I Love cooking, I Love looking at pictures of food, reading recipes, planning meals, and searching for new recipes. If it has anything to do with food in any way, I LOVE IT! My dream would be to have a fabulous kitchen that I could create and cook in all day long. You may have noticed I didn't say "work in" because being in a kitchen and around food is not work for me. Of course a large percentage of the joy and satisfaction I recieve comes from sharing the food I make with those I love.

My Dad tells the story of the time I was 4 or 5 years old and we were eating Lunch and I very seriously asked, "what will we be having for dinner?" Hey, a girl has to plan ahead.

Shortly after we got married, David and I were talking and I must have asked him something along the lines of, "what can I do to insure that you always know I love you?" I will never forget his response. "Feed me and Love me." Wow, how easy is that!
 
Other examples of my addiction:
         Everytime I go to the Library (twice a week) I find a new cookbook that I haven't yet ravaged.
         I spend time Googling new recipes which leads to more ideas so then I have to Google even more.....
        40 years later and I am still thinking an planning the next two or three days meals, while eating.  
 
I know that with any addiction the person needs to want help and want to change. Sorry it's not going to happen. I love my addiction.
 
I guess I just need to plan more trips to the gym, now that's WORK!
