About me

Semi-retired telecom engineer and communications geek. Have taken an interest in cooking over the past 12 years. Early on I was a photojournalist so I enjoy taking pictures of food I've prepared. I also enjoy traveling to regional cooking schools and taking classes about local specialties. Since I was recently diagnosed with Diabetes I'm learning to cook dishes that are diabetic-friendly. I test them on myself so I know they're probably OK.

My Favorite Foods

I can eat in 14 languages and cook in 6. If it's ethnic, or authentic I'm up for it. I may not like it the first time but I'll try most anything.

Hello, I wanted to make this dish for an Indian themed night in about two weeks. If I wanted to make it ahead, should I do it the night before or earlier in the day? Is this dish better served cold or warm? I'll try it out before that night comes for taste, but was hoping you could offer me a couple of tips on preparation. Thank you.

I hope I didn't step on any toes with the Easy Taco Pie recipe. I was just trying to get recipes into my favorites. I'm trying to get recipes together for a cookbook. Once again, I'm sorry!

in your recipe, Hajar's Harira (moroccan Soup) - I spotted an error....(I am so eager to try it.) The recipe calls for tomatoes - the reciped ingredient list doesnt show tomatoes. But there is one ingredient that says "2 can find)". Can you please correct? I want to keep this recipe as I LOVE moraccan food and want to make it ASAP!! thanks so much!

Thank you so much for the medal...I really appreciate it! Thanks for the nice comment and glad you liked the photo. Have a great day!

Thank you for the metal! :-)

Thank you so much for the medal for my Thanksgiving disaster story! It was just too funny not to share. for every great sussess in the kitchen there has to be on (at least!) disaster and my attitude is just to laugh at myself!

Thank you so much! :o)

I USE SUGAR FREE SYRUPS IN PLACE OF WATER OT MILK IN PANCAKES,,,YUMMY

Hi. I found your query about "net carbs," on the discussion page after searching for "diabetic" topics/tags/recipes. My husband and I were counseled for an entire year following his diagnosis by both a certified diabetes counselor and a dietician. We were told that "net carbs" is ONLY for Atkins-type dieters. Fiber's great, but doesn't magically cancel carbs for diabetics. Also, the "magic" noodles listed above in another comment are likely NOT so magic. Carbs are carbs, and they all count. Efforts to discount them because they're lower glycemic impact (or whatever the claim is) are misleading and possibly dangerous to your health! I'm distressed by the number of "diabetic friendly" recipes on BigOven (and elsewhere) that are loaded with non-sugar carbs and fat, salt, and cholesterol. I look forward to following your offerings!

Hi there I was reading your profile and when I read that you were diabetic and that you loved to cook, I couldnt hold back from writing to u to tell u that there is a site that sells miracle noodles, pasta and rice which contains no nothing in it (no fat, sugar, calories...etc) , its very good for u and it tastes good too, I have been cooking them for 6 months now for my hubby coz he's a bit overweight, but u can check them out urself on miraclenoodle.com

As someone who has had baratric surgery I am limited on my sugar intake as I was as a diabetic. I still want desserts and enjoy Key Lime Pie, with your recipe for Sugar Free Condensed Milk (161478) I will be trying it in a Key Lime Pie real soon. Thanks, OhPhoenix - Wallace
