I love to read about food -- I especially love cookbooks.  I am a collector -- an addict really . . .  recognition of this is the first step . . I (to further add to my weirdness here) have approximately the same number of cookbooks for dogs as I do for people. 

I used to, a long time ago, produce special events and my absolute favorite part of the job was creating menus.  Have I said it enough?  I LOVE FOOD!  Sadly I don't do much cooking (except for the dogs!)
