About Me

I am 51 and female. I live in Manhattan and have two kittens, Swiffy and Squeeky. They are sisters, adopted from a wonderful rescue group in Philadelphia. I saw them posted on petfinder.

I am an attorney but not practicing right now. My main legal interests are litigation, real estate and insurance.

I travel frequently. I love Maine, South Carolina, and cruises. I also like traveling internationally. Greece and Turkey have been my favorite locations so far! I am hoping to travel once the pandemic really slows down on a river cruise and/ or another safari (this time to Botswana to the Okavango Delta).

I love love love love cooking and cookbooks, especially cookbooks with southern, Cajun, creole cuisine. I also love international cuisines. I'm remodeled my kitchen so I have so much more prep space and I love it. I think I have far too many gadgets and knick knacks in my kitchen than anyone could ever have or need. It's out of control but secretly, I enjoy having it all.

I love makeup and skincare as well as face masks! I hate nail polish though.

I like photography and antiques especially Asian Art. I love going to auctions when I have time!

I like James Taylor and listen to Howard Stern.

I watch far too much reality tv. I LOVE Married at First Sight! I also love cop and cooking shows like OP Live/ Live PD, Cops, all the Law and Order franchises, 60 Days In, Hells Kitchen, The Great British Baking Show, The Kitchen, The Lost Kitchen, Cooks Country, and Americas Test Kitchen….any show with my favorite chefs like Ina Garten, Jacques Pepin, and Julia Child (love the really old episodes especially).

I keep up on the news, government and politics a lot. I watch and read the news daily. Sometimes some of the nonsense going on in all the branches frustrates me so much that I need a mini break from watching and reading. My Masters is in Politics and Government so I don’t stray too far from ‘keeping up’ even though I know our system is failing in some areas.

I like all types of food but hate mushrooms, nuts and cauliflower!. I never met an oatmeal chocolate chip treat I did not like. Milk Chocolate and peanut butter combined are the best things in life.

I never got into stickers or scrap booking. I had to look up what Washi is. I am also far from crafty and don't color in adult color books. I would be terrible at that!

I do love candles, wax tarts and sometimes those Reed/ oil combo bottle diffuser things.

I was recently diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis and I have been living with IBS for quite a long time. If you have either / both and have any great suggestions especially regarding low FODMAP foods and high FODMAP food substitutions, I would really appreciate it.

I am Jewish so I don't celebrate Christmas. However, there is nothing more beautiful, in my opinion, than Manhattan during Christmas time. I love walking throughout Manhattan and checking out the decorated store windows.

Happy New Year everyone!

Comment: Thank you ! Great Idea. I used to bake and Decorate Cakes on the side. used a Thread to cut across the top edge of the baking pan to level the cake, the piece lifts off, but oh gee I just had to eat it before it touched the Plate..! ! !
Response: That’s a great reason to use the thread and not the foil or paper around a pan….extra snacks.

Comment: Hi ya Claudia! Thanks so much for joining and participating in my email swap and for all of your awesome answers. I enjoyed reading them all! OMG, I had really good giggle, for your answer for "Do you have any crazy or weird family members? And, You said your cousin Janine. That even her cat jumped out the window to get away from her. 😂 I had two crazy relatives. My Aunt Louise and her son Johnny. My Uncle Roy told my Aunt Louise they would not have anymore children and I had seen why. They were both in the insane asylum. Anyway, Thank you again.
Response: Family and the dynamics are so very strange!

Comment: Thanks so much Claudia, for having joined my swap for this. Thanks so much for the wonderful recipes! Love all of them and plan to try them all! The first on my list to try, is the crockpot Coconut Chicken Curry. I hope we can find all the ingredients at our Tops grocery store. They are limited on things. But they're the only grocery store we have and next nearest grocery store is 45 miles away. We won't travel that far, since I'm in a wheelchair. Anyway, Tops may not have fresh ginger, Shallots, and ground Tumeric. If they don't have items, then I won't get to try the recipe. I'll move onto the Chicken and dumplings recipe. Which is a favorite of ours and so is Chicken & biscuit. Thanks so much Claudia, for participating in my Private swap. This was a lot of fun! If you'd like to do another recipe swap for February, please do let me know. Take care and have a good evening.
