About Ginger Smoothy and Otto Pilot

I work from home in Northern Ontario doing tech support, to pay the bills. My boyfriend John and I love cooking and cycling together. I love cooking food that has alot of flavor by using fresh herbs and grinding my spices from the whole spice. I like stocking up on things and freezing seasonally. We make frequent trips to Toronto and Michigan to get supplies that are not available here . You know you are a foodie/cooking addict when you get more excited about a new recipe or kitchen gadget , than buying a new dress.
