Are you bored yet to keep reading about me, the live-in carer who cares, about whom you couldn't care less?
Well, if you are, but can't stop being curious, then you're a masochist.
Can't help you there.
This being said, dear reader, whoever you are, I thank you for being curious about me.
A writer - or a blogger, in this case, writes for the public. Or, at least, I write for the readers and not for glory.

Hmm... Now that I think about it, I write for both.
Do I really?!
No.
Glory doesn't pay the bills.
I write for a living. And writing for a living has to be for the readers. Yes. Because they spend the money.

That makes sense, right?
Anyway, let's move on. You're not even interested in me as a carer, why should you care about my writing career?
What do I like as a person?
Let's start with:
You were expecting 'I love caring', right?
Too polemical.
- I adore snow! Snow and coffee! Yes!

Or, even better, 'I love writing or reading'.
Well, these are a given. You are reading what I am writing and this blog is about caring.
What about my shoes?
Don't like heels?
I love them. Very high heels. Stiletto.
Too on the...hmmm... hmmm... hmmm...
No, I do not wear them on the job. Not this one, at least.
Let's get back to snow. It's wiser.
'Who doesn't like snow?!'
I know!
What's not to like about snow?
What?!
Blocked roads, closed schools and shops, the cold and such?
Details, my dear reader, details.
Snow is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and played with. The only thing I played with. Yes. But that's in my memoirs.
- I adore fireplaces, open fires and log burners. In cold-freezing weather, not in the summertime!
- I adore the rain and the windy days.

- I love bright colours. Just like my mother. Green is my favourite, but red - 14 shades of red or 14 nuante de rosu - and pink come very close.
Since I turned 30+10+, however, I started liking and wearing a colour I have never, ever, considered before: grey.
Fifty shades of grey. Never read it nor watched the movies. Should I?
Unbelievable how people change.
- I love cooking.
Invented hundreds - if not thousands - of recipes. Published them on my 4 (or 5... 6?!) recipes blog and 13 (?) cooking books.
What cuisine do I love most?
Well, that's a tough question. It's a mix between Italian (Mediterranean), Romanian and the one I invented.
Clearly.
I follow my rules. Pardon, my taste.
My taste rules me.
Am I vegan or vegetarian?
No.
However, I rarely eat meat and dairy.
It's more of a personal taste - De gustibus non est disputandum - the title of my first recipe blog, than a diet.
Am I a gluten-free meal lover?
Yes. But once again, it's not a diet or an intolerance (lucky me), but rather a matter of taste. I love rice, potatoes, corn (almost all vegetables) and so on.
So let me rephrase 'I love cooking' = 'I love cooking vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free meals'. But, I have nothing against meat or dairy. I can cook anything.
Well, almost anything.
I love frogs, never cooked them though.
I also never ate (or cooked) worms, insects... Yet.
- I adore snowdrops, peonies, lily of the valley, and lilac.

| For you! |
More to come.
It's 3am. I need to sleep. I have work tomorrow. I have work every day. I am lucky, I am a live-in carer. Every country needs carers. There is always a very short supply of carers.
