Hi, I’m Kris. Thanks for stopping by. This site may need some explanation.
Basically, it’s my sketchbook. I’m an interactive media/marketing strategist/designer/developer/producer/content provider and artist. I’m working on several projects, one of which is a cookbook where I intend to explore the nature of data and how it can change meaning when it changes connections. No, I don’t really know what this means… yet. But I’m thinking about these bits of data as I would ingredients in a recipe – take yeast for example – it changes depending on how its looked at. It can be used for it’s taste, nutrition, color, ability to puff up or even turn things alcoholic. I wonder how this can affect data organization and cognition.
Anyway, that’s just one of the things that’s going on in my head.
As this is my sketchbook, recipes may get done, but not be photographed. Or there may be photographs but the recipe isn’t quite right – with notes on what I think will make it right. It’s a work in progress, details of what will come later will come later.
For now, enjoy the food.

If the recipes taste anything as good as the photos look then you’re going to have an outstanding project. Good luck!
Thank you! The support is very much appreciated.
great blog! i just stumbled on your site after seeing your layered colorful cookies linked on another site. the hot dish recipe looks very interesting.
I absolutely love the design of your site! And of course, beautiful photos and recipes 🙂
Thank you both very much!
I received your site as a tip from your photographer friend at the Star Tribune. She did not leave her card while she was her shooting my boss…but please thank her! I love your recipes! We are always searching for new and great stuff to cook up for our customers and freely hand out the recipes..look forward to more in the future. Did you think about compiling a mailing list for when your cook book is done..I want to get in line for it.
I found your site through taste spotting and I think it’s really cool that you are from Minnesota! I’m a Minnesotan residing in California and I have to say that compared with the Midwest, it’s much easier and more enjoyable to find and cook with fresh and interesting ingredients here.
Just found your site- think it’s wonderful!
I am looking for Durian in Minnesota. Can you help me?

yamiam & anna: thank you!
Dave: Yeah, absolutely. Not sure if they have any fresh right now but you can almost always find frozen at Dragon Star Foods in St. Paul about 2 – 3 blocks north of University on Dale. If you’re coming in from Rochester be sure to grab lunch at the Caribbean place on University & Dale.
Good luck to you!
came across your site after being sent to the minnesota cooks site and thinking how beautiful it was. This site/sketchbook is lovely, and the blog is fun to read. I’ll be back to peek again, thanks!
mary – thank you so much for the feedback!
Very interesting the topic, the idea of your cookbook! Good luck with it! 🙂
I might have gained 20 pounds just looking through your blog. Please, do a diet book to go with the cookbook. Thanks. http://www.bentpage.wordpress.com.
campodifragole – thanks!
Daniel – My best diet tip is to not eat everything all at once. Then again, I’ve got a bit of chub to loose, so maybe I should do that.

I was wondering if you would ever be interested in becoming a featured publisher with Foodbuzz.com? If so please conctact me at lizstambaugh@yahoo.com
the grilled cheese page is absolute genius. your recipes are so creative!
when you come out with a cookbook, I’m definitely getting my hands on a copy. 🙂
best wishes!
Awesome work. I admire your spirit and determination. Keep up the good work.
Brian
Let me know when your cookbook is released 😉
Wow, that sounds like a fascinating book. I studied cognitive science in undergrad, and I would’ve learned a heck of a lot more had they used a cookbook like yours in place of some of the textbooks! (;
