WHEN I'M NOT NARRATING I'M...
cooking, baking, or thinking about food!

The harder the recipe, the more I want to try it!
My favorite challenge is to look in my refrigerator and make a recipe with just what I have. I love our local CSA. Weird veggies? Bring 'em on. If you ever need a recipe for kohlrabi or mizuna, I'm your girl!

gathering records as my family's amateur genealogist
My grandmother: Patricia Walsh Lind, 16 years old, 1942.
|
Growing up in Connecticut in a house that has been in my family for 4 generations, we've collected a lot of... stuff. I'm the keeper of that stuff.
Genealogy has become a passion of mine. I sort, organize, keep, and treasure photographs, ephemera, letters, and anything else I can get my hands on. These records have come from different branches of my family tree; Irish, Italian, and German, and I feel so lucky to have these documents at my disposal. Check out the website I made for my Italian side of the family here. |
adding to my scary story collection
|
I peed my pants reading Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu when I was 10. My parents didn't know I had taken it out of the school library.
I asked my mom for three garlic cloves and put them on my three windowsills. I slept with a cross and kept holy water by my bed. And a hymnal. Just in case. I was pretty sure singing "I am the Bread of Life" would make a vampire retreat. Now, I host a scary storytelling circle every October in my backyard in Queens. True. Stories. Only. And I collect compilations of things that go bump in the night. And I make sure all my doors are locked. Tight. |
scheming and dreaming up ideas for Halloween Róisín
TOP ROW L to R: Bill Nye, The Childlike Empress, Carmen Sandiego
BOTTOM ROW L to R: Steve Jobs, Boris Karloff, Mother Teresa

What is Halloween Róisín?
Since she was born, our daughter Lyra Róisín has been the patient model for this crazy idea I had to dress her up in a costume every day in October. Every year. This year will be the fourth time we've done it! These outfits are usually cobbled together from a combination of things in our closets and the local thrift store. My favorite, and the easiest one by far was Mother Theresa (left). Two dishtowels and a subtle smile.
