About Doug and June

This Blog was the brainchild of Doug and June...as they spend as much time discussing food as just about anything else. I (June) suggested Food Porn as a name for this blog, but he (Doug) thought people would get the wrong idea and be looking for some oddly shaped cucumbers or something like that and I had to agree. So he came up with Food DJ (Food Doug & June) if you couldn't figure it out on your own. But you will find here is some awesome recipes and lovely pictures of food (and possibly the equally lovely Doug eating said food). However just warning you, I believe Doug has an unhealthy preoccupation with bacon. Might I (June)add that I love glossy, scrumptious, food-porn-filled cookbooks? The glossy paper, the photos that ooze calories, the chatty yet suggestive descriptions... ahh I smell sex and bacon.

Happy Monday...musings with June



     Hello and a happy and exciting new week to you.  I know my postings have been sporadic the last few days.  Well, so has life.. C'est la vie.  I think this might be a good time to share...after all, we have shared so much.... In case you don't know me by now (you will never ever know me...no wrong song).... oh and yes, Doug..finally, finally, the phone has been shipped..

    My name is June..yes real life name..crazy huh..being real on the Internet??  I am the mother of 8, count them 8 wonderful children {Kara, Laura, Anthony, Michael, Meaghan, Nicole, Jenny and Chris..see remembered them all} ( and a bevy of others I claim as my kids..yes..you know who you are...lol.. the list is too long and I fear I will omit some of my darlings)..I live near Boston, Mass US..about 17 miles south actually.  I love to cook and bake..obviously..  I love to travel my favorite place of all time, hands down is Disney World... I would live there if I could.. I even thought about it once..trying to figure out if a room at the Caribbean Resort  is cheaper than a mortgage.  (It's not).

     I do like living in the Northeast..I love changing seasons..and I love snow as much as sand and water.

     My hobbies are varied and eclectic...crossword puzzles, gardening, reading, playing on my computer, I don't watch much TV but I do love baseball.  I like movies in movie theatres.  And I like my vampires to be scary and sexy..but especially scary...no sparkling vamps!  My favorite reading matter (and movies too) are mysteries.  I love puzzles and figuring things out.  Ohh and just to even things out..I love Teddy bears and Winnie the Pooh is my favorite.  (Read the Tao of Pooh sometime).   My social networking is done via Internet ...and of course my all time best friends are Doug and Diane. (their Internet names will not be disclosed for their privacy...wait....is that backwards???).

I am a Gemini...and well..I am!

    Light, fun and carefree the Gemini woman is a breath of fresh, always quick to make fun of a bad situation and find a solution to it.

   Gemini's are amongst the intellectuals of the zodiac, known for their cleverness, curiosity and excellent communication. Always questioning and often insightful they're typically fascinating and light spirited companions with a diverse knowledge. Highly adaptable, they're fast thinkers and fast talkers, often able to get inside other peoples heads while discussing almost anything. Due to this your Gemini woman is likely to be highly adept at flirting and very hard to beat in an argument!

    Being so insightful comes with a price. Everything has multiple sides, and often maintaining a fixed viewpoint is the only thing which allows order to made from chaos. While the meaning of the twins is often taken as being two-faced, it really represents multiple viewpoints of the same subject. This mental complexity is however sometimes misconstrued as being contradictory, superficial or unreliable. (note well..misconstrued)

    As with other highly intellectual signs the price paid for her mental firepower. She thinks too much, which has some consequences in many aspects of her life. (ask Diane)

   Dynamic and exciting she's easily bored, and favors variety in all things. She probably has multiple interests, each holding her telescopic attention for short bursts. 

well yup that is kind of me in a nutshell...





    Now about, Diane... she is from the Northwest US.  And is such an amazing woman.  She is bright, funny, loving, kind, generous, wise, reserved until you get to know her and such a beautiful woman- sassy and sexy.  She keeps me sane...and that us no easy task, campers!!  And when I fall apart...she is ALWAYS there for me. She is the best friend anyone could want....the sister I never had and always wanted...  We share all the craziness of our lives...good and bad.  I always say we share EVERYTHING...and we do...She helps me sort out the insanity in my life.. She is more stable, and calm than I am.  She is practical and sensible.  (more qualities I lack).. I could write about her for paragraphs...but she would never read it..she thinks I write too much... yada yada yada..she says!  lol She is a Capricorn and I love her..nough said. 


(translation for the visually challenged...She is a guardian of sunlight, lost in thought, surrounded by rose blushed airy flowers.  She is exuberant youth and mature knowledge in one.Capricorn women are born old and wise and become younger with time..acquiring the exuberance of childhood while retaining the wisdom of the crone. She teaches patience and persistence and to have faith in our ability to handle the uncertainties of life)



    Capricorn women want to succeed. Whether it's in a career or as a homemaker they typically don't do things by halves. Goals and a practical viewpoint often characterize this lady. Outwardly reserved the Capricorn woman is a complex bundle of practicality, endearing modesty and self discipline in selected areas, often reserving her fun and sexy wild side exclusively for those who are very close to her.

     Down to earth, self motivated, patient and responsible. Capricorn women are generally among the harder signs to understand, with a number of personality traits which often confuse partners in the early stages of a relationship.

   While the Capricorn woman is as romantic and emotional as anyone else, she can be somewhat inhibited in expressing her emotions, often preferring to perform practical tasks to help loved ones in preference to making purely romantic gestures. She is very cautious by nature, and not one to rush into anything, so don't be misled if her interest appears mainly platonic initially.


How do you eat an elephant? One spoonful at a time..

     A Capricorns greatest strength is the ability to set long term goals and pursue them until attained. Nothing gets in the way of a Capricorns plans and ambitions, and they don't like taking shortcuts or cheating as either devalues their later satisfaction. They value steady progress over short bursts of activity, and are exceedingly patient. Bad news affects them less than other signs, and rarely holds them back for long.

     They often feel the need to challenge themselves. Pessimistic by nature they sometimes have a slight inferiority complex or fear of failure which drives them so hard to succeed and to stand on their own two feet while doing so. Respect, recognition and praise are important to them, as is their public image.


They are dependable particularly in a crisis though they dislike chaos and unpredictability. When asked, they give sound and practical advice. As a rule they're not aggressive people and only express hostility as a defense.
