As a graduate student I'm constantly trying to balance and figure out my academics (along with cooking and my dangling-by-a-thread social life). This is a space where I can posit my research which is often an intersection of food, psychology, sociology, literature, rhetoric and history. Please feel free to say hi, leave a comment, tell me I'm wrong, tell me I'm right (I always like that), offer constructive criticism, or argue your own thoughts and points. You can find my other non-academic food writing and musings as Vanilla Garlic. Feel free to e-mail me as well!
