Cooking, Gardening, Photography, Creative Writing
I am a home cook, however I was once on a cooking show. I enjoy fine dining so anytime I go out to eat I try to replicate a dish or make it my own. I always cook and share with my close friends and colleagues. I love to cook with fresh ingredients, I have a herb garden that consists of rosemary, thyme, green onions, bird peppers, key limes among other things. I am the person in the room that will have captured a moment, besides selfies I always photograph moments. I enjoy expressing myself with words, I always admired telling a story being descriptive and communicating through the use of words.
