Ina's new guest home. I love her style. 
I love this cookbook.. So Yummy! I am OBSESSED with the Food Network. And when I say obsessed I can watch it ALL day. I, of course, don't but I could. My new favorite chef is Ina Garten. I don't know if I like her show more than I actually like her. I want to be like her. She has a beautiful home in the Hamptons and owned her own bakery and bistro called BareFoot Contessa. Those two things are my dreams.
I realized that watching the Food Network is relaxing. I can turn it on and my body instantly relaxes. When I was little I would get nightmares often and could not sleep. I would go into my basement and ALWAYS turn on the Food network and I would be able to fall asleep. I know that is weird but I have distinct memories of it.
I have also learned that I am often home alone and I think I like having someone talk to me. The food shows are always one person talking to you-the audience. It makes me feel like I have company over. I hope I don't sound like a freak right now!
I am also OBSESSED with cookbooks. Don't know what to buy me--get me a cookbook. I mean a GOOD cookbook. I like to go to the library and read cookbooks. My favorite right now is Back to Basic by Ina Garten and Cooking Light. I have learned to really study a cookbook before I buy it, to make sure I will actually cook the meals. For example, cookbooks that have a lot of fried food or fatty food I never make so I don't buy it. BUT if it has a good dessert selection I might consider it!!
