Hello. I’m the writer of the oinking posts, the recipe scribbler, shutter-button pusher. Here’s a little more about me:
In my best daydreams I cultivate a leafy lettuce that tastes like Doritos.
I’ve been a fan of jazz hands since the day I went to see A Chorus Line when I was thirteen years old. My heart sped up when the whole cast high-kicked in unison.
A few years later the song that goes, “Oh god I need this job…” really resonated with my everyday life. I’m a Production Designer for films, an Art Director for commercials. I work on print ads and editorials as a Set Designer and Prop Stylist. We like to divvy up our titles and be weird about language in the entertainment industry.
I’m wicked with a glue gun.
I think objects and how they’re arranged tell a story. I’m kinda passionate about that topic. I’ll keep on talking about it accompanied by much hand-waving if you wanna chill at an outdoor cafe and get fired up about the language of objects with me.
I like the way food can sidestep into a story. A certain scent, a flavor can whoosh you all the way back to a place, a person. Food can become linked with the emotion of a moment. I think that’s interesting.
Maybe I just like a snack with my stories.
Fat pig in the market is about the impulse to oink which to me means:
What’s that? I’ll try it.
This is definitely a good idea. I’m in, boss.
Yes.
You with me? Let’s do this!
Nice to meet you and thank you for stopping by!

I finally found a moment to track down your blog, and wow, was it ever well worth it. You, madam, are a scientist and an artist graced with well developed antennas. Thanks for sharing the wealth. I was just looking up how to grow cardamom by the way… it’s evidently a bit tricky, but can be done.

Hello fellow oinker…right back at you: love your blog name too. Let’s do it…freindship is on!
It’s been said that some of the nicest people in the world are the Portugese from the Lisbon area!
One, little combination every little step we take… I loved the photos (especially the dragon meat tray)… it’s always fun seeing what new things you’ve conjured up (or found).
Thanks!
