About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Eat EVERY food item that is put in front of me. Or atleast try it...

ABOUT ME

D.C. born and apparently BA bound, or at least thats where I am now! I just finished up university in Burlington, VT. Way back in the day now (5 years ago) I spent a year living, traveling, learning and growing width wise due to delightful cuisine in Europe. I originally made it down here to BA during a year long hiatus from the bone-chilling cold weather of Vermont to study. I love to cook and converse (if its at the same time its even better) and have an obsession with my spice collection. Finding deals is a passion, especially if its a plane ticket (see my website for proof!). If you need something done cheap I'm your girl and I love being "proactive". I'm currently working my butt of here in BA, but excited to see what else this city has to offer. Lifes a process, right?

PHILOSOPHY

Never say sorry unless you actually mean it and never compromise on something you really want.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Friendship can be found in some of the most unlikely places.
I saw a man in Tucson, Arizona walking down the street with his three buddies - a dog, a cat and a mouse.
The cat was catching a ride on the dog's back and the mouse was sitting proudly on top of the cat as if it was the most natural thing in the world. I hope it is.

Teach, Learn, Share

Who knows what I can teach/learn/share. That will vary for sure. Cooking could happen...definitely.
