I am a PhD candidate in English literature at The Large University in the South. I am the lucky wife of The Husband and the besotted mother of Big Kid and Little Kid. I write about lots of things. Keep checking back and you’ll see what those things are.
Foller me!

/ September 8, 2010It is a long and winding road of links that led me to your twitter and this blog. I have enjoyed all that I have read so far and will be following from now on. My kids are grown now, but I am always looking for good pack-it-myself lunch ideas for me! Thanks for the intro to the Laptop Lunches Bento-ware!

/ December 20, 2010Hi Melanie! I just wanted to say how nice it was to meet you at the food swap! I am thoroughly enjoying all my treats and have allowed my husband to try some, too.
Aren’t I nice? 
heehee. Anyway, I look forward to reading your blogadventures. All the best,
Casey

/ July 12, 2011Hi Melanie,
Just read about you/ your work on The Feminist Kitchen and I had to give a shout-out. I recently graduated from UT and wrote my undergraduate thesis on women food bloggers, including the Pioneer Woman. I wish you the best of luck with the rest of your studies and look forward to checking out more posts here. Best, Keeley

/ October 5, 2011I enjoyed chatting with you. I can’t cook a decent meal to save my life but love to eat.
I also love unusual recipies that use ingredients in unexpected ways like Canataloupe pie.
