Thanks for stopping by to hang out. If you don’t know who I am or why you’re here, I can’t really answer that for you. Only you can. But take a gander below to see some of what this site is about.[/mk_fancy_title][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][mk_icon_box2 icon_size=”48″ icon=”mk-li-food” icon_color=”#1b8de5″ icon_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_border_color=”#bcbcbc” icon_hover_color=”#ffffff” icon_hover_background_color=”#1b8de5″ title=”Food” title_size=”18″ title_weight=”normal” title_color=”#1b8de5″ title_top_padding=”30″ title_bottom_padding=”25″ animation=”flip-y”]I love food. Not only is it great tasting, but cooking and creating with it is often a stress reliever for me. When I went through a season in life where I had many food intolerances, I learned to cook a lot from scratch. While it was a frustrating time, I learned a lot about ingredients and what’s in our everyday diets. Here you’ll find foods that I enjoy and some recipes along the way too.[/mk_icon_box2][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][mk_icon_box2 icon_size=”48″ icon=”mk-li-photo” icon_color=”#1b8de5″ icon_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_border_color=”#bcbcbc” icon_hover_color=”#ffffff” icon_hover_background_color=”#1b8de5″ title=”Art & Design” title_size=”18″ title_weight=”normal” title_color=”#1b8de5″ title_top_padding=”30″ title_bottom_padding=”25″ animation=”flip-y”]I work in design and video production and appreciate art.

I’ve worked in faith based settings for several years and have taught Bible studies and Sunday School classes off and on for over 15 years. I’ve learned that even when we humans disagree on things, we’re all searching for something bigger, some sort of truth to give us purpose and validity. It’s something that I think about a lot and like to explore through writing. When we can discuss our fears and questions without worry of judgement, we’re free to grow the most.[/mk_icon_box2][mk_padding_divider size=”20″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Hey.

There I write about food that I eat around Columbia and even attempt some cooking “shows.” There’s also a little spiritual component to it as well.

Maybe sometime last December, my friend Brittany declared to me in an exasperated tone that she just wanted to get out of town and away from everything by herself. I felt that sentiment, and suggested Read more…

SIE: BLD Diner Lobster Roll

Technically, it isn’t called a sandwich. It’s a roll. More like a hotdog, but not really. It is lobster meat between bread, so I’m calling it a sandwich. And it was a dang good sandwich Read more…
