Some of my favorite books:
Food and Cooking: I love eating freshly cooked food. As president of the Nepalese Student Association (NSA) at Texas A&M, I convinced our club members to cook onsite, calculating the costs of buying equipment and groceries versus ordering meals for around 60 people. Everyone volunteered, and it was a huge success. We bonded, laughed, and had one of the best picnics ever. Since then, every spring, we cook food from scratch, bond, and have fun!

Wood Carving: Recently, I have enjoyed wood carving with basswood, using both traditional and modern techniques to create different versions of stirrers for the Cooking Robot.
