The remedy: keeping busy—cooking to my heart’s content, unpacking boxes, re-arranging furniture—and lots of fresh air and sunshine. By Spending many quiet, quality hours in my garden, I have found comforting peace in Nature, amongst my fruit trees and thriving vegetables.  Read more >

My father, a long-time bowler—who for a short time toured in El Salvador, a “Gringo” bowling on the Salvadoreño team, that also bowled many years with his own parents here in America—encouraged my husband and I to bowl with the children as a family. My father was one to emulate in bowling. And then of course there were the likes of the PBA greats, like: Walter Ray Williams Jr. (also a champ at horse-shoe throwing), Pete Weber, Chris Barnes, Parker Bohn III, Earl Anthony, and Don Carter. Now those were all grand bowlers of our time!  Read more >

About Me: 

I am a Home-Reared Chef. I don't have a degree from a culinary school, but I have earned my title through years of experience. I am a Foodie! With my husband at my side, I have been creating recipes and cooking all of my 30 married years. I have other passions in my life as well: my children and grandchildren, and exercising, like lifting weights, step-aerobics and street-hiking. I am very passionate about all these things.

I also love to write, though I am not a writer by profession. And that is why I am thrilled to have found a home with BlogHer. Here I can write and share my stories and my recipes. Writing is therapeutic, after all

I am also San Jose Food Examiner and San Jose Home Fitness Examiner:
