In case you missed ‘em on the home page, I love to cook — Mediterranean, Mexican, Indian and anything I find in the NYT. I own a sewing machine named Darlene The Sewing Machine. I have yet to sew anything I genuinely like, but I refuse to let Darlene win. I love Science Fiction & Fantasy. And yes, I have recos.
