about me

I’m a 20-something writer living with my wonderful husband of four years and our headstrong basenji pup in the Southeastern part of the US. We're expecting our first baby in Feb '09.

DH and I love to travel. We barely get back from one trip before we’re planning the next one! Earlier this year we visited Australia and New Zealand and seriously thought about never coming home! We’re not sure where we’re headed next. Argentina is high on the list, But then again, so are Greece, South Africa, and Russia. So many places to experience, so little time—and money!

I read and craft in my down-time. You’ll never find me without a book tucked away in my bag or one of my pockets and I’ve always got some kind of craft project going on. DH is a tennis player so we spend a lot of time out on the courts. Well, he’s out on the courts; I’m on the sidelines guarding the beer!

Favorite Foods:

I love all kinds of foods and am willing to try anything at least once! My Mom taught me to cook down-home Southern food and my Dad taught me to be fearless in the kitchen. I’ve yet to meet a recipe that intimidated me and I like to experiment with new ingredients.

My favorite go-to dinner on busy nights is Pasta Carbonara. I always have the ingredients on hand and it goes together in a flash.

I’m famous for my Crème Brule. I’m eternally grateful to Mean Chef for sharing his fabulous recipe! Even at the fanciest restaurants, I’ve never had anything that comes close to it.
