As I have gotten older it seems that my tastes have changed. I’m not just talking about clothes (I finally just gave away a bunch of clothes I had since high school. Trust me, it was time.) It is true with food too. Even cilantro, which I used to hate in even the tiniest amounts, […]

While I learned a lot in the classrooms at college, almost ten years later what I remember the most are the things I learned from my classmates and friends.
