How are you?  I'm just fine and dandy, thank you for asking (you did, right?) ...

As for who I am, well, are you sure you wanna pull at that thread?  Really?  Ok then, here it goes!  

I am Jodie but PLEASE just call me Jo.  I cook everyday (mostly), I feed people (as often as possible), I bake (to win friends and influence people!) and now I blog too!  It's been a rollercoaster of a 30 years to get me to this point but I'm so happy I'm finally here... and here is a life filled with food (aka cake!) and love from wonderful friends, a crazy yet loving family and the most wonderful guy a girl could dream up - my fuzzy orange hubs (more on him some other time ;)!)  

When I'm not in the kitchen, I'm more than likely daydreaming about the next time I'll be there.  You see, by day I have to earn the pennies being a dentist who is training also to become a doctor in the quest for a career in Oral Medicine - and yes, the irony of being a dentist who bakes compulsively is not lost on me, one day I'll tell you about my favourite job to fund me through a summer at dental school - as an ice cream van driver!  

But enough about me, please, pull up a seat, pour a coffee and let's get acquainted over a nice big fat slice of cake (who said you had to have your dinner before your pudding?)...
