Beloved Recipe Box
My philosophy of cooking is that when a carefully made feast is prepared, we tend to linger. Making delicious food helps us sit down together longer, allowing us to connect. Preparing a good meal can also help us be more fully present for ourselves and each other in these challenging times.

Delicious every time, with clear, detailed descriptions, weight measurements (so much more accurate), and photos to help you along the way!!

A Speculative Fiction 2026
The Way Back Home
The Way Back Home tells the story of Toby, a 20-year-old orphan and university student who is just learning about love and what to do with his life in 2019, and Eleanor, a brilliant but awkward 58-year-old widow who is fighting to be heard in the male-dominated field of mathematics in 1962.
After his girlfriend unexpectedly time-jumps to the past, Toby follows, landing at the vibrant backdrop of the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle, where visions of “Century 21” are on everyone’s minds. He desperately tries to find his girlfriend as he navigates a very different decade with limited funds.
The story reaches its climax during the tumult of the 1962 Columbus Day Storm, when each character must confront their fate: If Toby chooses to remain anchored in the past, what are the consequences? If Eleanor decides to leap into the future, what would that impact be? At stake are the most fervent aspirations of their hearts along with Toby’s very existence and Eleanor’s dream of finding connection.
