Most importantly, this is not a food blog I just have a lot of hobbies.

I’m Emily. I can’t smell, it’s called Anosmia. Most people have no idea such a condition exists but I was born without a sense of smell so I have no idea what I’m missing.

It’s genetic!

People tell me that if I can’t smell I must not be able to taste, those people are crazy;

I have impeccable taste.

I’m from San Francisco and I moved to Portland, Oregon almost 20 years ago.

I claim the sidewalk-less streets of North Carolina and the desert sand of Superstition, Arizona as the places I’ve lost and gained the most of myself.

I’m a constant fan of yin yoga, kale, uni (sea urchin), basketball, sumo deadlifts, and verse. By day I’m a technical content manager, turning your APIs into poetry.

The pictures on this web corner are taken by me and you may use any of the pictures for whatever you wish.

“If you are immune to boredom, there is literally nothing you cannot accomplish.” – David Foster Wallace, The Pale King

“Maybe God did us a favor and limited our sense of smell to make life in those shitholes just a little bit more bearable.” – Hallgrímur Helgason, 101 Reykjavík

“Anything that comes out of the South is going to be called grotesque by the northern reader, unless it is grotesque, in which case it is going to be called realistic.”
– Flannery O’Connor
