Hello!

I’m Hilary Duff.  No, not that one, silly (although I do indulge in Lizzie McGuire-esque hair brush singing sessions in my bedroom on a regular basis).

So who am I?

Well, I can be classified as many different things: human, mammal, daughter, friend, sister, etc. etc.

More importantly perhaps, is that I’m someone who loves creating, photographing and, of course, eating food.  This blog is meant to share my love of these three things with you.

When I’m not eating (an activity which, I admit, takes up the majority of my time) I enjoy biking, jogging and people watching from the roof of my new house (you have no idea how many kids ride scooters these days).  I like interior design, colour co-ordination and Helvetica.  Most recently, my favourite thing is the new scar on my leg that I attained as a result of a baking accident.  Battle wounds, you know the drill.

I’m also heading into my fourth year of journalism at Carleton University, and hope to one day combine my love of cooking, writing, blogging and exploring into one dream career.  In the meantime, I’m willing to work hard to get there.

Random tidbits?

I always mess up basic phrases and sayings, as well as the lyrics to songs (it drives my best friend crazy).  I once missed a Greyhound-like bus in Norway and had to cry to Norwegian speaking officials until I got back to where I was supposed to be.  I am in possession of a comfortable pair of purple pajama pants, the likes of which my roommates despise.  I have a knack for memorizing Jay-Z songs.  I can move the majority of my life in several trips on the back of my bicycle.  I enjoy lemon zest and have a zest for life.  I enjoy inserting personal side notes in brackets the way Chuck Klosterman employs footnotes (as you have probably been able to tell from this page).
