About Me

I spend countless hours thinking about food- eating, cooking, reading cookbooks or watching the Food Network. I also like to go to flea markets, bowl, see bands, drink, step on crackly leaves, make stuff and do jumping jacks. Lately I've realized that I seriously enjoy cursing and shouting at fellow drivers on the road. I still remember the phone numbers and birthdays of my elementary school friends that I have not seen or spoken to in over ten years. If I could live under water, I would.

French Lick
