As a forum host, I personally, feel a duty to set an example. If anyone wishes to teach me something, then I hope they will do so with good, solid facts. They are opinions only and I don't consider them to be a learning tool. I am perfectly happy with seeing things my way and it really doesn't matter to me if others don't view things the way I do. There will ALWAYS be someone that will move heaven and earth to make you see things their way. However I have learned long ago that my opinion really is just one more opinion and no one really gives a what I think about certain topics, so why put myself out there for others to ridicule me for them. I, too, have an opinion most times and would love to blast certain people with them despite the fact that my opinion is just one more in a vast sea of opinions. My thoughts on controversial threads as a forum host: Often (very often), I would wish to post my thoughts and disgust about certain topics just as many others do in these forums. Most likely the only thing I will not give out to most people is my address, phone number and my last name. I will let you know if your question is too personal. Mind if I ask for an inspired by recipe whatever by Karen From Colorado if you do find yourself changing a recipe so much that it becomes a different dish? I have no secrets, so if there is anything else you wish to know about me, then never feel afraid to ask me. All I ask is that you not re-submit my recipe as yours with those changes unless they are major changes. I truly do welcome the feedback and promise not to jump all over you if you make this your practice. Please do mention the changes and results in your review even if the change didn't work out like you thought it might. Your ideas might be much better then mine and just might make the recipe even better then I thought it was when I posted it. It is what I would do if the recipe were posted by you.

If you find yourself using one of my recipes as your dinner tonight, please feel free to change it to suit your own tastes. Especially my beloved Rocky Mountains where I spent so much of my time while living there all of my life. I was born there and will always love that bright and beautiful state. I tried Karen In California after moving, but it just didn't seem like me so I changed it to Karen FROM Colorado which will always be home to me no matter where my address is at the time. It used to be Karen IN Colorado until I moved here to Southern California to be near my sister, Morti, after our parent's deaths in 1996 and 97 and the loss of my job in Colorado in 2002. My screen name is pretty simple and easy to remember, but sometimes people do ask me why it says Karen from Colorado instead of Karen from California. Although I have degree in office management and graduated with a 3.8 GPA, I must be Food's worst spelling member so please excuse me if you notice it in my posts and if you notice it in my recipes, then my thanks in advance for editing the recipe to be spelled correctly if you have done so.

Stephen King and Dean Koontz are my favorite authors. I collect cookbooks and am an avid reader of anything but have a particular love of horror novels. They all still live with me, so I am pretty much the boy's other parent. I am a single mother to one 25 year old daughter (Alicia) and grandma to Xavier Pryce, Rylan James and Wyatt William.

Trying to spend time on the computer with 3 rowdy, hyper little boys in the house can be frustrating and sometimes even impossible unless their momma is home to keep an eye on things while grandma indulges herself on the computer.I wish I was as witty a writer as some of the others here on, but I am afraid that all of my creativity and talent goes into my cooking, but I will give this my best shot anyway. I am retired now and spend my days watch my grandsons while their momma works. I am finding it difficult to spend as much time here as I used to. Many people don't know this, but I was Recipezaar's first paid employee when was Recipezaar and Gay and Troy owned it. I enjoy hosting a chat room called #Recipezaar on, named after the old site. They and their momma are the light of my heart. I am grandma to Xavier Pryce (aka Zavy) who is 7, his little brother, Rylan James, who is 6 and Baby Wyatt who will be 3 in December. I like the picture because it reflects me and my love of the beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains near Wellington Lake. I am a little heavier, my hair is not permed anymore and is straight with a slight wave to it, almost to my waist with a touch of grey at my temples. The face is mostly the same, but atlas.everything has aged by about 20 years. It was taken during a very sweet time of my life many years ago.
