I’ve worked on a sheep farm, on countless horse farms, in a cell biology lab, in an Ethiopian refugee camp, in a bookstore, and in a shipping warehouse. I’ve worked as a caterer, as a waitress, as a prep cook, as an English tutor, as an editor, and as an instructor attempting to teach the wonders of Shakespeare to a room-full of reluctant college students. More recently, I worked as a nurse in the Medical Surgical wards, the ICU, pediatrics, and the OR. Now I am happily the manager of a huge and hectic inner-city medical center. Amidst it all, I, cook – seasonally, locally, healthfully, and joyously.
