About Me
I retired about five years ago and moved to an "active adult" community in Beaumont, California, which is located in a mountain pass of the San Gorgonio Mountains in Riverside County. I love to play duplicate bridge and am an avid tennis fan. I like to cook new variations of the standards -- Ina Garten is my favorite TV chef, closely followed by Giada de Laurentiis. My claim to culinary fame is baking pies -- especially Apple Crumb and Lemon Meringue. I don't like being around negative people and my personal motto is "Life is too short to drink bad wine!"
Favorite Foods
I love anything chocolate and if there's coffee or mocha involved, so much the better! True to my Texas roots, I love a bowl of pinto beans and rice with cornbread made in a cast iron skillet. I also love vegetables, and after successfully growing herbs last year, I'm going to try my luck with tomatoes and peppers this year.Advertisement
