I'm a 31 year old American expat living in Oslo, Norway, with my bulldog, Ada, and my husband, Johannes. My interests include interaction design, especially information architecture, philosophy of mind and ethics, cognitive psychology, sociobiology, feminism, yoga, fat acceptance, knitting, pottery, and cooking.
Here are some pictures of what I make myself to eat when Johannes isn’t coming home for dinner:
Chinjiew Chicken:
General Tso’s Chicken:
From Eileen Yin-Fei Lo’s “The Chinese Kitchen”. I credit that cookbook with making me into the chef I am today. I make damn good food, and that’s a damn good cookbook. If only she had one on photography…
This is the scarf I made for my husband’s uncle’s 60th birthday. It’s the first major thing I have finished. I made it in mistake rib, based on various recipes I saw online. I used plain ol’ Alaska wool yarn from Drops, which was really kind of a nasty thing to do to the gorgeous variegated hand-spun, hand-dyed yarn I got from Carpool at the NAAFA convention this summer. “Night Trees” was the color of the Carpool-yarn. So evocative! I am truly sad to have let that yarn go, but I can at least say that every inch of it went through my fingers at least three times on its way out. And I have more. 
Anyone want something made with it? I can’t wear wool myself…
ETA: Yeah, the scarf was about 72″ by 6″, and the file that “thumbnail” up there links to is 813K. 
Second best is from Uncle Scott. I got 92% - 20 miles average error in 361 seconds. Who the fuck cares where Delaware is?!? *grumble*
