教，学，和分享

I am a font of useless information and would be happy to share random bits of trivia. As an English teacher, I'm especially fond of tidbits of linguistic weirdness. I love to cook, and would be happy to teach you how to cook my favorite recipes or throw together whatever we can find in the fridge/pantry. I'd like to learn interesting expressions in languages you know, or just share stories over a nice meal, coffee, or a cocktail.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

A home-cooked meal, language skills, my story, a drink.
