About Me

I live in Minneapolis with my husband. I love cooking and baking, sewing and crafting, reading, and playing with my two kittens. I also love international travel and was an exchange student in Japan. My most recent trips include Japan and China, Sicily, Italy, Greece, and Croatia. I've been to Europe several times in other countries, too.

I work extremely irregular hours and sometimes for very intense periods of time. I may not respond to messages immediately if I'm in tech week! My favorite color is turquoise, any shade from light to dark. I'm also a huge fan of green. I don't like orange at all, and yellow is to be used sparingly, or saved for lemon-flavored foods.

Favorite Books

Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert; The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenberger; super geeky fantasy series... I also love travel writing and memoirs. I find that I really love the experience of reading, so there aren't many books I don't like simply because I liked reading even if I didn't like the story.

Favorite Television

LOST, Heroes, the Food Network, Mythbusters, marathons of America's Next Top Model on VH1

Favorite Crafts

To do: sewing, embroidery, applique, stenciling, card-making

To dabble in: playing with art journals, collage, quilting

To admire: Mosaic, knitting and crocheting, amigurumi, reconstructed clothing -- someday I would really like to own a pair of hand-knitted socks!

Food and Cooking

I'm mostly vegetarian though I have started eating fish and seafood again. I do eat dairy and eggs.

I love most fruits and veggies (including "weird" ones like brussels sprouts and artichokes) and have a sweet tooth. Food I don't really like: meat, carrots, pineapple.

I love cooking challenges (Hollendaise sauce, meringue) and seasonal foods. I'm trying to limit processed foods. I don't have a bread machine, but I love my Kitchen Aid mixer and my food processor.

Comment: Thanks for sharing your blog. I bookmarked it. I need to check out the market at Mill City museum. I didn't know they had a farmers market there. I usually go to the one in the downtown mpls area. I liked the recipe for the rhubarb crisp I will give it a try and let you know how it was! Thanks for sharing the link to the meatless dinners. I bookmarked that one as well! Kristi
