I am a professor who cooks in upstate New York (what Michael Barkun called the burned over district -- the 19th century home to abolitionism, women's rights, new religious movements like Mormons, and other agents of social change). Now it's a hot food and wine area too. I teach religious studies and women's studies to college students. And I read a lot -- cook books, murder mysteries, religion, and feminism and the ways all these come together to make for danger, delight, and social change. Today I was renamed: bibliochef!
cooking and cooking classes, reading mysteries, walking (more an aim than a fulfilled goal!)
