My name is Dar and I am from south central Alaska, about 45 miles north of Anchorage in Wasilla. On the outside I am unemployed. But, here in skool I currently have 2 VERY different communities. One is about sharing my food knowledge with others and helping them gain their own. I love talking about all things foodie and cooking, from growing to eating to preserving. My second came about from being asked for help so many times I figure I'm good at ideas and organization so that one is about helping new ones to skool get their passion, ideas, and even vague thoughts into a skool community of their own. I'd love to find an easier way to get traffic to my about pages. I don't have a large following for my food page (I used to be a blogger so have some) and no following for the lab. The simple things make me feel grounded. A cup of coffee looking at the my mountains is VERY grounding and everyone who comes here feels the calm too. I love my home. (Yes, that is my back yard view.) Hope to connect with others and share knowledge.
