Card Games

I've always enjoyed playing card games: poker, blackjack, rummy, solitaire, you name it. I learned from my dad and my paternal grandmother when I was a kid, and I've loved it ever since.

Cooking

Picked this up over the past year and a half. My signature stuff: hot chocolate, a homemade taco bar, ribs, and the occasional pasta with homemade sauce.

Chess

Something I've picked up in the past year. My dad got me a chess set and we play together whenever we both have time. Still learning strategy, but I'm not totally terrible. I played in one tournament with the RPI Chess Club (an internal tournament). Didn't do great, but hey, I tried.
