She's a jar with a heavy lid, a pop quiz kid, a sleepy kisser, a pretty war

About Me

I cook for a living and for my passion. I'm mostly pecce-vegetarian. I eat voraciously. I have dreams about meals and cook them. Seriously.I live with my best friend in our library of cats, DVD's, records, and pots and pans. I have a terrible black thumb when it comes to gardening but I manage to keep 5 plants alive. I tend to go to breakfast a lot, watch a lot of movies, go to local shows a lot, dance a lot, and drink and smoke some. I'm going back to school for Nutrition in the fall, but I have my certificates in Culinary Arts and Esthetics/Spa. I intend on furthering my foodmeetshealth career and education as far as it can reach. I'm a hopeless romantic. I'm pretty much sure i'll do the whole family/house thing someday.Any more questions?Love:"It's not all just crotch and chemicals"
