...and I use that term loosely.
Not to mention, if you have made your way here you probably already know me on some level.
In case you forgot or have just found this place, here are the facts:
I'm Kristen. I'm 21 years old. I am currently living in Misawa (technically Oirase), Japan, with my husband, Chris, and our crazy dog, Guinness. We moved here in April 2009 from Anchorage, Alaska. In Anchorage I worked full time, and I loved (most) every minute of it. Here in Japan, I hang out at home and am a full time student with UMUC. It has been a change, and the biggest part of that change is my growing love for cooking. It started in Anchorage with a new recipe here and there, and only flourished here now that I have infinitely more time on my hands.
In an effort to share my cooking, my menus, my kitchen mishaps and musings with family and friends, and to keep myself organized, I have created this blog. If you are interested in more than just the cooking aspect of my life, my personal blog can be found here.
I'm sure I won't be documenting every recipe I make, but I am hoping to use this as the spot for all of my weekly menus. If you see anything on the menus, or remember any food I have mentioned previously, that you would like me to elaborate on, just shoot me a comment. I'll try to make it happen.
My goal for the first month of this blog is to detail at least one recipe per week. Assuming that goes well, I will add more.
That's all I've got for now, but I think it's a good start.
-Kristen
