My Activity
I have no recent activity to share.About Me
I live in beautiful Ventura County. I am independently wealthy, and raise my two kids with the DM.
I am a retired pro-guitar player and teach occassionally on the side. I also play a little piano. Actually, it's a full-size one.
Joy of Cooking, How to Bake by Nick Magliere are staples. I have been on a quest for many years to perfect the best homemade pizza, crust and sauce from scratch. By far, the crust is most difficult. I use Nick Magliari's resipe. Usually, I leave it 2-3 days in the refridgerator, and I have found King Arthur Unbleached to be THE best. I really detest pre-made pizza crusts. They taste pre-made.
In high school, one of my first jobs was a dishwasher in an Italian restaurant, then I was a doughnut baker-two great food experiences.

Restaurant dining is over-rated. I seldom go to them. Home-cooking cultivates family time which is important to me and DM and it brings a better social atmosphere for friends than restaurants. Plus, the less people touching my food, the better, I say.
