Fun Fact

I have a knack for replicating recipes. If I go to a restaurant and really fancy a dish, I can usually discern the herbs and spices as well as other ingredients (and, let's be real, the menu helps). I then go home and scrutinize my kitchen, hunt down ingredients, and try my best. It usually works!

Passion

Cooking! Reading, crafts, arts, movies, my cat, gardening, my other cats.
