I am silly, optimistic, and fireproof.
My Self-Summary
I'm a
chef in
Manhattan - I
have a fairly unconventional schedule...scratch that, I have a VERY
unconventional schedule, and I spend entirely too much time at "the
office". On days off I like being
outdoors as much as possible, and I
like making it up as I go... I'm a fan of dive bars, establishments
of questionable repute,
live music, dancing in inappropriate
places, Korean karaoke and eclectic beer selections. I have a hard
time taking myself too seriously but I act like a grownup when
necessary and/or appropriate. I love to
cook for friends (even better if they do
the dishes). I also have a fascination with foods on sticks and
think there should be more of them.
I'm equal parts
Canadian and hillbilly, and I grew up
between
Texas and
Virginia. I can
catch a fish and ride a horse, but I clean up nicely. I have an
amazing
family.
I'm kind of a nerd and a little bit of a tomboy. Video games that
involve undersized plastic instruments are hilarious, and I'm a
font of useless trivia knowledge...and I'm boring myself, so
onward...
What I’m doing with my life
I'm a chef. I'm probably a better cook than your mom.
I'm a white chick from Texas in charge of a Southeast Asian kitchen
where all the cooks are Mexican and the busboys are Bengali. I love
New York.
I’m really good at
Cooking, dancing
badly, being a smartass, athletic endeavors, playing dress-up,
making people laugh, motivating others, giving great advice to
people that I don't follow myself, being a good sister and aunt,
finding the good in a bad situation, retaining useless knowledge
and potentially offensive jokes, playing instruments by ear,
actively listening,
laughing at myself, and creative uses
of bacon.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm approachable and laugh easily. Hopefully that and not a ketchup
stain on my shirt. And I often smell like garlic after work. I
should probably not have mentioned that last part.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
I am in the process of trying to gather my thoughts enough to fill
up this box again, as I impulsively deleted the whole thing when I
realized I haven't updated my profile since approximately when
dinosaurs roamed the earth.
The six things I could never do without
Six is entirely too limiting, there is no way I can even touch this
one. ADD is fun. I like to cook. Want to go ride bikes?
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Why there are 792 ingredients in a bottle of juice.
On a typical Friday night I am
Ideally getting up to no good with friends or enjoying good
company, but in reality I'm working because everyone else is out
eating.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
One of my first words was "shit". I was a classy toddler.
You should message me if
You're looking to make a new friend, want to share great spots in
the city, have a sense of adventure, think beer is awesome, enjoy
absurdity... for whatever reason you want to after reading my
ridiculous profile
