I'm a freelance illustrator, artist, writer, and sometimes-designer living in KC with a boyfriend, a cat, and a dog. I love playing around with any sort of ethnic cuisine. I also enjoy baking, but it's not something I'm able to do as much anymore. There are only so many brownies and pies two people can finish off in one week. Thanksgiving and Christmas are a big deal with my extended family and my boyfriend's. Lots of great home-cooking. I have managed to tackle the dreaded pie crust on at least two occassion with total success. I can also make a mean chili. For everything successful pie crust, there are a multitude of failures. Otherwise, every under/over-cooked piece of meat I've been responsible for.
