About me

I really despise writing these sorts of things which is rather asinine because I love talking about myself.

I started this blog so that I could teach myself how to cook.  I am the offspring of two amazing cooks so I was never motivated to learn growing up. I was always an excellent baker--in fact, when I get stressed, I bake.  If I'm really stressed, I'll bake hundreds of cookies or ten pies (oddly, this is common in my family).  But I didn't know how to cook.  And I've learned.  I've learned so much in the last three years.  I can now confidently cook a coursed meal for a crowd, which I love.

I just finished my PhD and moved to the Washington DC area, which was a big, exciting move.

Other information?  I'm a Scorpio, I love animal print (especially snakeskin), my favorite piece of kitchen equipment is my immersion blender, I hate cinnamon and bell peppers, and I'm allergic to almost all fruit.  My favorite actor is Cillian Murphy, I hate watching cooking shows on TV, I'm strangely obsessed with the 80's, and I have over 100 pairs of shoes.
