My Self-Summary

Independent, funny, always smiling. I love singing, cooking, and finding humor in random situations. I've lived all over the world-- Israel, Kenya, DC, Baltimore and Western Mass. Sometimes it takes me a while to get to know people, but I always think the effort is worthwhile.

What I’m doing with my life

I am currently trying to cook my way through 1000 Indian Recipes cookbook- I'm up to 135 (no I will not be blogging about it:). When I am not pursuing culinary goals, I can be found in rabbinical school preparing for a career as a rabbi in some sort of teaching or chaplaincy setting. Basically this means I study a lot, take classes, do various internships and meet lots of cool people (religious and non) all over New York and beyond.

I’m really good at

random trivia (excellent at trivia bar nights)
cooking- (Indian, Vietnamese, Thai, Italian, Middle Eastern)
singing (also finding songs to fit almost any occasion)
procrastinating on school assignments
taking the wrong exit when riding the subway and ending up on the wrong side of the street

The first things people usually notice about me

my big blue eyes
my sarcastic wit
my great singing voice

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Movies- The English Patient, Pride and Prejudice, The Name of the Rose, Ace Ventura Pet Detective

Music- Allison Kraus, The Stanley Brothers, Ricky Skaggs, bluegrass gospel, Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Opera, Choral music

Books- The Souls of Black Folk, The Poisonwood Bible, Grapes of Wrath,The Phantom Tollbooth

Food- Where do I start? rice noodles, pasta, really fresh bread, pastrami, pad see yew, roasted eggplant with tahini, Indian desserts. ice cream, dark yeasty beer

The six things I could never do without

My passport
Olive Oil
Google Calendar
Loose tea
Music
Sundays

I spend a lot of time thinking about

when i will next be overseas and how long I can extend my stay. I also wonder about the state of the world, current events and the role of religion in public life. My fantasies include living in a place that has enough room for all my books, gets natural sunlight and doesn't involve hiking up four flights of stairs :)

On a typical Friday night I am

Having Shabbat dinner with friends and family- oftentimes at my apartment with lots of good food, conversation and company.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I am allergic to black hairy caterpillars

You should message me if

you can tell a good joke, see irony in the world, appreciate a good ethnic foods section in a grocery store, read good books and are moved by them
