I blog at Just Dreadful. I also drink beer and ride a bicycle.Lately I have turned into a huge food dork. I brag about organic chipotle chevrie and give people advice on roasting peppers. Mostly I just appreciate healthy, natural food and the community-building that takes place whenever a meal is shared. I'm also really interested in gardening and especially urban gardening and shared or cooperative agriculture projects.When I am old, I want to live on a farm and grow cherries and apples and make goat cheese and wine.I am an optimistic fool. I like oversized pearls and garish shades of lipstick. I also like cats. I suffer from seasonal allergies. I like ginger beer, having a clean toilet, homemade ice cream, putting on underwear right out of the dryer, and monsoons.
