It would mean I would have to do some serious testing with exact measurements to write down recipe. Not impossible, but I'm lazy.

Thanks! I appreciate the welcome! :)

I think I have to make another swiss chard tart -- the chickpea flour crust was so filling it will be perfect once I'm really on the bicycle!

I love to cook when I have time, love to look at photos of food, and have an affinity for my bike... So I guess I am a foodie. I also enjoya good glass of wine and espresso ( not together of course ) and willing to pay for quality over quanity any day!!

Chick pea crust sounds filling. I'm sure you have an arsenal of recipes.

For energy sports food, to me it's fuel..'cause is this food that you would feed children?

I rest my case. :p:rolleyes:

I love food for what it intrisically is within a particular culture and how people living in an area adopts the food for their palate. I do consider the traditional food cuisine of a particular culture an expression of people's lifestyle, values, etc. But some of that has been blown apart ..with globalization of industrially grown food sources, processed foods.

Another foodie here. And cyclist, clearly. For me, cooking is a form of artistic expression, a source of infinite intellectual challenge, a way to take care of my family, the activity that most gives me a sense of accomplishment.. but mostly, it's just fun. And I'm good at it.

Wonderfully said. :) With colorful fruits and/or vegies I feel like I'm "painting with food".

I like my current manager but he's leaving :( so we have a temp from out of state who asked me for food recommendations near his hotel. "You're in a great spot! You could walk to ______, or oooh there's this sandwich shop on the Bay Trail with the BEST crab sandwiches and a nice walk on the trail or you could go ....". My recommendations almost all related to scenic walks or hikes.

He got this expression of distaste "I don't walk". Allrighty then ;) :rolleyes: :cool: "You can drive to ......"
