A bit about me...

Welcome to my world... I am a lively New York-born American who has her own very big cookbook collection from many different regions. I love to cook and love fine china. My lifestyle is a mix of Western and Japanese cultures.

I met my Japanese husband overseas. We moved to Yokohama after we were married.

Over the years, I have enjoyed volunteering for many different organizations. And yes... even though Yokohama is a big city, it has become my hometown.

My hobbies include making washi crafts (using a traditional Japanese paper), counted cross-stitch embroidery,  listening to music, making jewelry, and chatting with friends. My collections include a few lovely antique dishes.

I still live by one type of philosophy:
"We are who we are..."

The most important things are to like yourself... be yourself... and don't forget to laugh or smile!
