I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. When not cooking and baking or otherwise tending to my household of three kids, two cats and one husband, I write about alcohol health and social issues. I find Martha Stewart's mathods easy to follow. Otherwise my stand-bys are 70s vintage Joy of Cooking and Betty Crocker. After many years as a journalist who cared mainly about intellect, I now find that I get great more joy from making useful things by hand. I'm not all that good at it. But if I had a month with no responsibilities, including the kids, I would undertake more ambitious projects. I'd learn to sew. And read lots of books!
