I'm a foodie bordering on the insane.
* I travel with 3 old Dionne Lucas knives wrapped in a linen dishcloth and secured with a coated rubber band (for my hair) on the
outside chance someone might need my assistance in the kitchen - and doesn't possess a decent knife. (Ginsus don't count.)
* In the years prior to
Food Network I used to cruise the channels in the hope of finding that ubiquitous overhead shot of a bubbling saucepan. Didn't care who was wielding the wooden spoon - someone was COOKING!
* No matter where, when, in what circumstances, or with whom - any conversation of which I am a part turns to food.
* I include a line at the bottom of any party invitation I extend that says, "Bring your appetite." I've had the experience of people coming to a party and being disappointed because they "ate dinner prior to coming." They were accustomed to party food consisting of a dish of sliced pepperoni and cheese whiz.
