Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make healthy, yummy food on a hectic schedule and limited budget. I'm good at sensitivities / restrictions, too (veganism/vegetarianism, lactose intolerance, wheat allergies, etc.)
I can probably give you a run-through of quick camera basics.
I've taken a course in Thai yoga massage.
I can teach you to knit ... scarves, hats, gloves ... no sweaters (yet) though.
