I am originally from the Philadelphia area of the United States but have been living in London, UK since 1996. I now have dual American and British citizenship. I became a widow at the age of 27 in 2004 but have managed to fall in love again and was married again on July 19, 2008.
I have a double major honors degree in sociology and politics and am slowly working my way through a Masters.
I am a wanabee writer but until that dream becomes a reality I work in internet marketing where I build websites for profit. So, it is nice to come to a site like this and just enjoy being on the internet rather than using it as a work environment.
I am a BBW (big woman) but over the past year I have lost over 70lbs and am working my way down the scales slowly but steadily.
These are banners and buttons from Zaar events in which I have participated:



I grew up in a PA Dutch family and I love all those kinds of foods. However, due to the fact that I am on a low fat diet I very rarely get to eat them. These days, I have taken to mostly cooking vegetarian and fish based meals. I have come to love bean based dishes and things like hummus which is just about a perfect food for me.
I am love foods that use spices and herbs for flavor but I am a self confessed spice wimp and I don't do spicy hot very well.
