Credentials aside, this is the real me.
If I could write a ‘just for fun’ blog it would be called Jessica Eats Scallops. I’d take pictures and write reviews for restaurants and their scallop dishes.
My other favorite foods include Wawa soft pretzels, Wellfleet & Blue Point oysters, clams… basically any kind of shellfish. I also have a crazy sweet tooth which I subdue with keto.
If I could be on one reality TV show it would be Survivor.
My favorite genre of books is memoirs. If a movie or show is “based on a true story” there is a 95% chance I’ll watch it. I binge the 3 hour BBC Pride & Prejudice at least twice a year. Netflix’s The OA was amazing storytelling.
In my previous life, I was probably an egyptologist.
