About Me

Hi there,

I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. I've just moved back to PEI to finish my last year of grad school. I'm having a few problems with my mail, so I'm going to have to hold off on swapping for a while. Sadness!

My Charlottetown address (eventually!) finds me no matter where I am, so if you send to that, I'll (eventually) get your package.

I'm a chef. I'm in the process of becoming a research chef, which means I get to play with my food and come up with new products. I love to swim, ski, knit, cook, read, swim, swim, travel, swim, and swim. I love anything to do with the ocean.

Favorite Music

Split Enz/Crowded House/Neil Finn, Johnny Cash, REM, Billy Bragg, Otis Redding, Steve Earle, Manic Street Preachers

Favorite Movies

Mallrats, Waiting for Guffman, The Princess Bride, Chinatown, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Roger and Me

Favorite Television

Cracker, Simpsons, King of the Hill, The Office, Arrested Development, old Law and Order

Favorite Crafts

Knitting, learning to sew and quilt

How to make me happy

If you send me any of the following, I'll be a happy lady:

plain dark chocolate, Reese's Peanut Butter cups, (but not Reese's Pieces), anything vanilla, natural fibre yarn (in any colour), flavoured coffee (except Irish Creme or anything with coconut), post cards (especially Anne Taintor, or anything Anne Taintor), kitsch, retro anything, anything with stars (I love stars!!!), super-tacky Elvis souvenirs - especially of older, fatter, greasier Elvis (if it makes you want to scream and run away in terror, then you're close to what I'm looking for), books from my Amazon wishlist (used is all right!), anything Johnny Cash, bamboo knitting needles, and recipes.

Not really interested in

raisins (they make my tongue go numb), coconut, fruit-flavoured chocolate, nuts in chocolate (I'm not allergic; I prefer nuts in savoury dishes), candy (except gummy bears and Starburst fruit chews), overly cute stuff, etc... if you have any questions, just ask me.

Comment: Thank you, Jaichan, for the pretty little picture of the 3 churches, as well as the magnets for my fridge, and the PC too. Since you seem to love Lunenberg, I hope it gives you the strength and courage to move forward, and that you find some measure of relief and even, perhaps, happiness in September. Take care, Terry
Response: Thank you, Terry! I'm not religious at all, but the churches are in such an iconic spot here that I had to include them. I'm hoping that Lunenburg brings happiness, too. So far, so good. Thank you so much.

Comment: YUM!!! I loved everything. I think I may have found a new favorite to ask for too. :) Unfortunately I tore open the wrapper and threw it away before eating it and realizing how delicious it was so I'll just have to keep trying different chocolate now. lol
Response: Hahaha... well, I sent you Crispy Crunch, Wunderbar (I think only one), Crunchie, and the Cadbury Toffee ones. It was probably the Wunderbar. I should send you Jersey Milk and Coffee Crisp. I'm glad you liked it!

Comment: Thank you for my chocolates! I loved them!!
Response: I'm so glad! There are more on the way. The four Brit bars are sometimes hard to find, but I thought you would enjoy them. I'll try to pick up a few more when I'm home again. I'll put together some more Canadian bars and send them down this week. More Aero bars for you!

Comment: Thanks, Janice! I can't find Bernat's dc cotton so easily in this area (or at least I don't know who sells it), so thanks for the variety. And thanks for the chocolate! It was pretty funny because when I first took out the yarn, I only saw one bar of chocolate. Then I saw another, and another! And one can never have enough chocolate. Thanks so much. I will enjoy it all. Also, sorry it took so long for me to post this. I don't get to the p.o. box very often. Best wishes and stay sweet (or at least chocolatey)!
Response: Yay! I'm so glad that you received it. Don't worry, I figured it took some time to get there. Have fun with the yarn; if you ever want to do a private swap, let me know!

Response: I saw that lava lamp and laughed and laughed. I'm so glad that you liked everything, and that it got to you in one piece!

Comment: Thanks so much for the great package of cotton and treats. Most importantly, thanks for offering a private swap for me to "get my feet wet".
Response: Absolutely no problem. It was my pleasure! I'm knitting a dishcloth now with the yarn you sent. The chocolates are loooooooooooong gone. Hahaha.
