Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies--- zombies to rom-coms. Some of my favorites being Pride & Prejudice, Elk, Stick Man, The Stand, Lord Of the Rings

Music: Everything. Every genre has its genius and I want to hear it all.

Books: I read a little bit of everything. I'm currently partial to zombies (Rhiannon Frater, Sarah Lyons Fleming), sci-fi (Dennis E Taylor, Martha Wells), urban fantasy(Anne Bishop, Patricia Briggs, Jim Butcher) and trashy shape-shifter romance novels (Shelley Laurenston, TS Joyce).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While camping out in Montana I had the rare opportunity to photograph a grizzly sow with four cubs. I hadn't known til then that grizzlies will adopt the young of another bear if that bear becomes incapable of caring for her young. Watching the little runt of the group scramble to keep up with its older siblings, and how the sow would pause and patiently wait for him to catch up... memorable.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a pretty decent vegan chef and have a few killer recipes in my back-pocket (tested and approved by die-hard omnivores). Cheesecake, Mushroom Stroganoff, deviled hummus, maraschino beer bread...if I can get my hands on the ingredients, you can get your hands on some good eats.
