I like to eat and drink because it is social, decadent and intellectual. I also like to spend time alone on the internet in the comfort of my sweats because I am in introvert. If I didn’t like any people at all I would simply move to Finland. But that is not the case. There are a number of people I like, and my dog whom I. Simply. Adore.

My expectations are high, and rarely met – I am regularly frustrated that reviews I read do not match the reality of my experience. So I’ve decided to write my own. Generally, I eat and live in the greater Seattle area with the occasional trip elsewhere.

I am currently interested in the following things…

• Scandinavian Cuisine (WHY, HOW is there not a fine Nordic dining establishment in Seattle??!!)
• Decaffeinated Earl Grey Tea with an unglazed old fashioned doughnut from Top Pot Doughnuts in Issaquah, it is the only Top Pot with this tea. I know, I’ve done field tests.
• France (I blame a recent read of the following The Paris Wife, Provence 1970 and f’ing Molly Wizenburg and her glorious franco escapades)
• Finding more ways to walk and/or move my body in ways that don’t totally repulse me.
• Chelsea Peretti.
