I'm half Iowan, half southern, 100% kung fu badass. I'm a cat lover who can't resist a wine tasting event. Asian and Indian. They smell amazing! My mom's sage and onion stuffing at Thanksgiving. A number of years ago when my best friend told me I could teach the chefs in town a few things about how to cook a steak medium. When I made a sauce and my husband said "Yuck." He spent the next week healing the wounds in his hand from my fork.
