Thanks to some of my fellow cooking divas: Cara, Jessica, Michelle & Renea! I've been "tagged" and as a result, I'm sharing a little insight into my food-loving world.


Each player starts with seven random facts or habits about himself or herself.

A tagged player then writes a blog entry with the seven things, as well as these rules.

Then the player tags seven others and lists their names on his or her blog.

Remember to leave a comment for your newly tagged players, letting them know they have been tagged and to read your blog!

1. My full first & middle names are a combination of all the female members of my husband's immediate & extended family. (I even had to show identification when we first started dating since he and his family didn't believe it!)

2. When I was younger, I was big on singing and playing musical instruments - piano, organ, violin & viola.

3. My sister is 6 years younger than me, but when we are together, people mistake me for the younger one by both looks and overall personality.

4. I failed drivers ed in high school and had to retake during the summer. (The humilation!) When I finally took my drivers ed test, I had to drive a big old Fleetwood Cadillac (and I'm 5 ft tall - a petite gal!)

5. I love trying out unusual and ethnic foods - the more adventurous, the more excited I am to try it!

6. I'm a neat freak and occassional germ-o-phobe. Maybe that's why I'm super sensitive and allergic to all sorts of things!

7. I love Chicago and would always want to live either in the city or very close by.
