Emerging adulthood: The age of identity exploration, instability, self-focus, feeling in between, and possibilities.
I make (mostly) healthy food & I always have seconds. I perpetually smell like onions – ask my friends. My preferred death of choice is drowning in a vat risotto. I woke up one day & the thought of eating meat made me want to hurl so I stopped. I don’t eat dairy either. Just trying to do my part for the world. Sometimes I miss cheese. I despise fruit – it’s stupid. I love Jesus. I eat 8 mint Oreos after each meal you read about here. Enjoy.

Love the site. Had no idea you were into cooking. Me too. I’m your aunt anita and just wanted to say hi and congrats on your marriage and move to Seattle. Good luck! Love you.
