About

Welcome, one and all, to my little internet world.  My name is Krista, and there’s pretty much only 3 things you really need to know about me in order to (hopefully) enjoy this place.

1.  I really like to learn things.

2.  I really like to make things.

3.  I get bored pretty easily.

Actually, maybe you need to know 4 things.  You should probably also know that my Daddy took his own life in the summer of 2008, and that one little quiet instant on Planet Earth where his life flickered from “on” to “off” felt, to me,  like a big bang that shook my life with such great force that it altered its entire trajectory forever.  If you want, you can go all the way back to my very first post and read a little bit more from me on the subject, and if you don’t – that’s cool too.  I just wanted my reader crew to know a little bit about where it is I’m coming from.

I’m never totally sure I’m on the right path in this very new chapter of life, but I know what I’m trying to do here.  My mission is to savor the flavor…..to grow, create, evolve, to inspire and be inspired, to laugh and to cry, to conserve, respect, read, tell stories, get back to basics, to dream, to taste, to touch, to see, to smell, to hear, to feel, to sense, and above all to love.  For me a very simple way to connect all of these dots was through food, and through the tables we share.  Meals are things that are common to us all, that have meaning, and that foster dialogue.  They are a simple concept, and everyone can understand it.  And as my personal superhero Carl Sagan once said, “there is much to be learned.”

I hope you enjoy your time here, and thank you for visiting.
