My Photo and My Life.

Here I am:


My Life, in Brief:
I was born in Yorkshire (on December 28, 1947, if you must know), as the oldest of five children. My family migrated to Brisbane (in Queensland, Australia) when I was fifteen. My real job is as a health professional. I am married to a man who likes food, which has played no small part in my obstinate interest in all things food-related. I have two adult children who have wonderful partners, and live nearby. I am going to become a grandmother in June 2009. I have wonderful friends. I am very lucky.

Hi I found your site because I am looking at a few Yorkshire pudding recipies. Happy Birthday (A day early-- is it a day early in Australia already??)
I am also a "health professional", although I have reformed my form of dress (back to all "whites") and address (now I introduce myself as Nurse Koziol-- no more first name basis-- with anyone other than Mr. Koziol and my 80 year old mother)
I am afraid, despite what you said in your post about food heritics, I've decided to make individual Yorkshire puddings for my Holiday meal today (Yes, today, sadly nurses work on Christmas so the big meal got delayed) And, here's why: firstly, I'm not in Yorkshire-- I'm in New York. So, I can honestly say to the food purists "for-get-about-it" when they raise objections to individual puddings(New York has a state bird-- besides the bluebird-- and the Bronx is know for it's own "special" Bronx cheer and not-for-nothing I don't give a rats a---- woops, I digress...) My second point is that I have a really heavy (hence it gets really hot) muffin tin which is no-stick, and will work pretty good-- even better than my well seasoned cast iron pan! Third (or "terd"-- as my old granny used to say)I want my own portion of pudding, and this evens it out (nice and democratic--it's the American way). Anyway, enough on the Internet, and on with the cooking. KK
