I’ve listed some of my favorites in several cities under “good eats.” Know of a link that I should have up here? Send it to me!
peer into my window January 11, 2007
At first, I just switched over my old blogger title to wordpress. But, I decided that maybe it was time for a new direction in my bloglife. So, out with “mind chatter” and in to my “kitchen window.”
The purpose of this blog is to contribute to a dialogue about art, culture and society through the lens of a Queer woman of color artist, turned teacher, and now graduate student. It is my hope that this space can serve as both a resource and an archive of news, events, critiques and opportunities for scholars and artists.
