Food
When we have lived in different places, the types of food we eat changes drastically. It is beyond the coast=fish, or Midwest=deer, it encompasses vegetables and even recipes. Available ingredients plays a part, I am sure, but so does our willingness to explore and try new things. What are some great local recipes you have…
Read MoreMornings
Some people act like mornings are meant for sleeping. For me, I enjoy my mornings and my creativity and energy is high. Among my characters I created both types, those that are early happy risers and those who would prefer to see the sun later in the day. What type of person are you?
Read MoreWhy they are called dragons
