The dictionary's definition of foodie is, in part "A person who has an ardent or refined interest in food; a gourmet". While I do not consider myself a "gourmet", I do have a great love for, and interest in food. I read about food-related topics in books, magazines, and on the web; I watch numerous cooking shows on TV; I search the web for recipes on a daily basis; I collect cookbooks; I even read culinary fiction. I have noted some of my favorite "foodie" links to the right, but I have hundreds more. I love to bake, especially cookies, biscotti, and muffins. It relaxes me, and is a creative outlet. My mother was a great cook and an amazing pie-baker (alas, I have never been able to match her flaky piecrust!), and when I am baking I sometimes feel a connection to her (she died almost 25 years ago.) I am still figuring out what this blog will be, but one thing I am sure of is that I will be sharing some recipes, and I hope to have readers who will share theirs as well.

Here I go...
A bit about me:
I live in Central Ohio, I have been married for 28 years to a great guy, I have 3 grown children and a somewhat spoiled dog (thanks to the kids who are mostly gone now, leaving me to deal with him!) I like to bake, crochet, read fiction and cookbooks, enter sweepstakes, and am mostly a homebody (exciting stuff, huh?)
"Fibrofoggy" refers to the term "fibrofog" (also called "brainfog") which is used to describe cognitive symptoms that people with fibromyalgia sometimes experience, such as memory loss, confusion and a sort of mental dis-connection. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 15 years ago, after several years of going through unexplainable pain, depression, fatigue, sleep problems, and headaches. What I have learned about this condition is that the most important thing is to pay attention to, and take care of your body. Gentle exercise helps - I like walking outside and doing yoga. For me, prayer is vital. I believe God is with me every day, helping me and loving me. Until next time...
