| Introduction | I cook, crochet, and wield power tools. I am slowly learning to embrace the fact that I will never quite know where I am from, where I belong, and where I am going. To read more about my life as a gypsy Air Force wife, visit our About Astra and Zach page... |
| Interests | Cooking and baking, developing recipes, sharing my passion for delicious healthy foods, traveling, reading, hiking, brewing beer, crocheting, gardening, refinishing furniture, and making people laugh. |
| Favorite books | Everything William Faulkner ever wrote - along with Shakespeare, he's the reason I have my first undergraduate degree in English instead of somehing practical like biomedical engineering. Also John Keats' poetry, Stephen Dunn's poetry (Especially Landscape at the End of the Century), Joyce Carol Oates' We Were the Mulvaneys, Edward P. Jones' The Known World, Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, Mary O'Hera's Green Grass of Wyoming, and Gerald Durrell's My Family and Other Animals. I read cookbooks like novels, too - some that I find most inspiring are Tamasin Day-Lewis' Good Tempered Food, Mollie Katzen's The Enchanted Broccoli Forest, and Crescent Dragonwagon's The Passionate Vegetarian |
