Much of my free time centers around exploring, enjoying and sharing a good meal -- whether recreating familiar childhood flavors or gaining new insights through cuisine and travel. I also enjoy hiking, kayaking and exploring grand vistas and tranquil nooks in the great outdoors with my family and two chow chows. I hope you find my experiences ruminating on food as a reflection of friendship, culture, and conservation to be interesting and helpful. --Charleen
