Ten Things to Know About Me:

1. I have lived in multiple places including Minnesota and Wisconsin but have always considered Seattle to be home. My current location of Boston is a close second though.

2. I have a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever (a Toller) named Digby and he may be the coolest dog ever. He is certainly the cutest.

3. I have always liked wine but I developed a love for it and a respect for those that make it through many business trips to Santa Rosa, CA.

4. My favorite foods tend to be in the Thai and sushi arena. I would likely shrivel up and die if I were too far from a restaurant with larb gai.

5. On that note, I learned how to cook many Chinese dishes because I went to college in a town with only one deplorable Chinese restaurant that I refused to eat at.

6. I have a rock collection. This is all the result of many classes in Geology during my undergrad… yes, I am a huge nerd.

7. I love to kayak and hike. I recently took up running but I can’t say that I am any good at it!

8. I could live on blue cheese and pinot noir… I cook because I love it and because not all of my friends will eat blue cheese.

9. Salt is a food group in my world. Salt and Vinegar potato chips are the king of stress eating.

10. I am also in grad school and will have a Master’s by late winter 2012.
