ABOUT ME

Hmmm.... patient with others, impatient with myself; light-hearted and silly; interested in growing and understanding what I don't; amazed at how food comes to be food, or really, how anything comes to be anything; sometimes forgetful and air-headed; sometimes too direct and tactless; a warm and welcoming hostess and a gracious, repectful guest.

PHILOSOPHY

I generally try to keep my mind open to new things/ways, including the truth that everything is temporary.

Conservation of matter and energy.
