About me
Hi! I'm Lindsey.
I do public health work at Duke University, like to run at a slow, but steady pace, teach group fitness classes, and do my best to keep up with my family that's spread across the country. In the midst all of that, playing in the kitchen is one of my favorite stress relievers and creative outlets, so this blog chronicles some of my favorite cooking and baking adventures, but in the process it also tells the story of the rest of my life.
Like many people in the Triangle area, I'm a transplant. After spending the first 21 years of my life in the midwest, I've been settled in North Carolina for seven years. One of the things I love most about the area is the diversity of local farms, farmers' markets, and great food, so I follow lots of local food happenings, but I also keep up with my fair share of Midwestern favorites.
If you like what you find here, feel free to drop me a note and
email Yummy things. I'd love to hear from all of you out there!

After my first night in town, I spent most of my time in San Francisco within the Marriott hotel, where my conference was, since I’d been to all the classic tourist spots before.

But here are some of the other fun favorites from my week by the bay:
Yerba Buena Gardens
A great spot for a morning walk or to people watch while folks do tai chi.
Saigon Sandwich Shop
Makes a great bahn mi sandwich and cheap too!
SPQR
An excellent Italian restaurant, where Whitney and I enjoyed the most excellent ricotta fritters with orange marmalade. Of course, we were too busy gobbling them up for me to take a picture!
MakerFaire
A crazy combination of craft fair, science fair, food fest, and people watching extravaganza, with highlights such as:
The Bizarre Bazaar
The Human-Sized Mousetrap Game!
Robot games
Beautiful blue skies and temperatures 10 degrees warmer than in the city
Seeing my sister, who made a special trip up from LA to see me!
