RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a professor of physics and astronomy at a small liberal arts college.
My husband is a good cook and a real dear about helping out with the cooking, but I don't surrender the kitchen too often, because I really love cooking, even after a long day—though I really appreciate recipes that are quick and easy.
Aside from cooking, I also enjoy reading (mostly science fiction, though I try to keep my horizons broad) and board games, card games, and role-playing games.
