About Me

About Me

Poor college student.
NYC.
Vegetarian. Well, technically, pescatarian.
Vegan occasionally but not really. I just like the food.
LOVE LOVE LOVE to cook.

Interests

Currently: my new trash can. No longer do I have to shove trash into a little baggie under the sink. Yeeaaah!

What I'm Listening to

I'm in a trip-hop phase at the moment.

Favorite Foods

vegan foods
does wine count as a food?

What I'm Watching

I don't watch tv much but when I turn it on this is what I happen to watch:
Food Network (pretty much any show)
Small claims court tv (a la Judge Hatchett)
Friends
and for some reason, Two and A Half Men...I don't even like this show, but it's always on when I turn on the tv. Do they EVER play anything else on the cw11?

Tastiest Libations

red wine
white wine
rose wine
wine without grapes in it (a la Vermont maple apple or strawberry rhubarb wine)

Favorite Website Online

bonmondo.com!

Most coveted item

hmmm...I think a portable grill so I can grill things in my apt. And maybe a (real) double boiler for working with chocolate. And a blender. And a Cuisinart. Buy me these things...please?
