| Introduction | I'm living out in the 'burbs with my adoring husband. I pass the days working in a fundraising department for a national organization. In the evenings and on the weekend, I have time to read and knit. My weekends are also spent lounging and becoming cultured at the symphony and opera. I also adore food...fancy schmancy food (Charlie Trotter's, Moto, Avenues, Blackbird, Frontera Grill, Grahm Elliott, Schwa, Lockwood, Topolobampo, etc.). Did I mention I enjoy knitting? |
