Away from work I cook, grow food and build things around the house.

If it can be built, I probably want to build it.

Cooking

Sourdough, dinners from the garden and a lot of barbecue. Every recipe I keep lists its ingredients in cups and in grams.

Gardening

About a third of an acre of raised beds, tomatoes and young fruit trees. I start nearly all of it from seed.

Home projects

My dad and I built a run of steps down the slope behind the house and a deck at the bottom, about six feet by ten, on the way to the garden. Next on the list are a pergola below the raised beds and a decomposed granite path through the orchard.

Indoors, I built the shelves in my office. They hold the brick sets behind this site's theme.
