about: northwood jane


Me, I am just a college girl living in the north woods of Michigan. At the moment I am pursing a degree in History with a minor in English and Native American Studies. Three subjects rich in story.

I have grown up with story. From the early days of my life when my father read The Hobbit to me, to the love I find today in the art of story writing and telling.

And we mustn't forget food. Julia Child one said: "people who love to eat are always the best people".

Some time ago a friend asked me the question: what brings you the most joy in life? My answer: I love a good conversation. I love having the chance to sit with someone over a cup of tea and listen to their joys, struggles, to hear their story. 

That is what this blog of mine is for. A place to share thought and tell story. Alongside food. Who doesn't love a good crumble, crisp, or quiche? Stories surround food. Food is where the "bests" gather: the best stories, the best conversations, the best people.

I am venturing through life one thought, story, recipe at a time. This blog represents the journey of life that I am walking. It is the the dreams I chase after, and the fears I run from. It is the simple and the challenging. Friends, there is a story to everything: each tear, each smile, each whispered prayer to God in the black of night.

Enjoy the thoughts, stories, and food.
