About Me:
Plant chick. Generally unshockable. Into that whole 'slow food' lifestyle. Love to grow, catch, prepare everything myself. If I could travel
forever, I would. And I like E.M. Forster, but there wasn't enough space in the Favorite sections to say so. I enjoy going to Burning Man and living The Good Life that one week, but don't care to be that way the rest of the year. I've grown to love staying at home and I cherish my privacy. I love cooking and often have friends over for meals, and I yearn for the day they finally cook something for me. I don't have a phone, so don't be offended and think I'm lying to you if you try asking for the number.
Oh yeah, lots of people ask about 'what I am.' Culturally, I'm American. Ethnically I'm half chinese and one eighth each of dutch, norweigen, german and english. Mutt-o-rama.
But you know, mutts are the healthiest.

moments: one is thanks to a DIP-THONG
at Kew Gardens who was lost in the VAST
(roughly 2,000 volume) library at the
School of Horticulture--"call number?
whuuuuuuh?" and the other was a moment
of spontaneous RiverDancing on the

assassinations for the United States
government. That whole story about
studying plants in Britain? Fake. The
position at Kew Gardens? Fictitious.
The bit about the X-acto knife is
completely true though. She knows forty

internationalist travel snob, sporting
a Singapore t-shirt and Chinese silk
jacket. She blames it on her parents.
Bath time you lots of fun make!

crepes for breakfast one beautiful
morning. That's all I really gotta say.
She's an amazing dancer/hulahoop
artist/fire dancer. I could, and did,
watch her for hours as she entertained
thousands at Burning Man this year and
she was one among many that made my
first burn a fabulous one.
And her costumes... her wonderful
costumes.

an excellent host, a charming
conversationalist, and a super-human
botanist, she's looks terrific. When she
does the thing with the poi. Oh my yes.
Also, she would fit in my lap very
nicely. Not that I've thought about
that. Much.
and she amazed me with her elegant class
while showing all around her that she is
in touch with us mere mortals. I often
fantasize about Rosminah taking me away
from this ghetto lifestyle to Santa
Barbara where I would raise her children
in the lap of luxury surrounded by the
moneyed people of the world. Minah
would be a globe trotting botanist

engaging in modern day Indiana Jonesism
adventures on the side. Well enough
fantasy, the reality is once we were
stranded in the middle of a sand-storm
miles away from civilization. In the
morning Rosminah decided to make a
desperate run for safety. I had already
given up all hope and was just going to
wish Minah the best of luck surviving
out there. Well, not only did she make
it back to civilization but she brought
back substinance for us weary travelers
to eat and snapped victory from the jaws
of circling buzzards.

froth. Pour one groovy chick. Servings:enough
