I'm half-Japanese; half American (French/English/Scottish/German ancestry).  I haven't been to Japan yet but plan on going within the next few years.  All of my mom's family is still in Japan so it's a must!  I joined a great site for hapa/hafuu.  If you're a hapa like me, you should check out Halvsies!

My husband is of Russian and Scottish (plus others) ancestry.  Since we have family that lives in Scotland, we get to go every year.  We have many new friends there now.  I also belonged to a great Scottish group.  MSN got rid of Groups so some of us moved to here at Multiply and here at Yuku.

If you've checked out my "You Can Help" page, you'll see Care2 at the top.  It's a great place to join if you like to help and want to meet or talk to others who also like to help.

I am a WebShark and Graphic Artist (here are just just some of my creations).  I have created all the pages and many of the graphics here.

I also like pigs (an ex-roomie of mine had a pot-bellied pig) so my house is covered with sharks and pigs of all kinds.

As it said on my homepage, I love gourmet cooking.  I like to try all kinds of new and different things.  Other than Beef Wellington, some of my favorites are Paella, Carnitas, my Stuffed Flank Steak, and yummy desserts.  If you'd like any of my other recipes, just email me!
