Whats’s All This Then?
I'm Jocelyn. I used to write this blog, before I became bedridden with presumed XMRV/XAND. That happened in December 2007. I first fell ill in May 2004. I hope someday to cook again, but I'm not producing any new content right now.
I live in Washington, PA now; when I was writing this I was living in Fresno, CA.
***
I blog vegetarian recipes and occasional marketing snark. Originally from Northern Virginia, I ditched out on an acting degree from NYU because the city's food stores and greenmarkets were much more interesting.
I spent twelve years in the food industry, as a cheesemonger, tiny cog in a vast major cereal company machine and as a marketing jill-of-all-trades at a produce commodity group.
