I’m a retired lawyer and newspaper columnist, blogging since 2003, mother to two grown daughters, wife to a man with a curious nickname, and abuela to two four-legged creatures, Penny and Chicken Joy, who are both a delight and a nightmare.
If you’re a long time reader and you reached this page because you were redirected from one of my old blogs, yes, it’s really me. No copycat here using my name. I still live in a house on a hill in a suburb of Metro Manila although I desperately hope to go back to city living soon.
No, reviving this long-dormant domain does not mean I’m giving up my recipe blog. I just wanted space where I can write about (mostly) anything that I find interesting.
I keep writing for two reasons:
- The thought of developing dementia in my twilight years creeps me out, so I write to keep a stimulated mind.
- I’m frantically contributing to the effort to resuscitate the fast fading art of real writing by a real human with no AI contribution.
