Tattooed history geek/sf fan seeks someone to cook for

About Me

I have tattoos on both my arms, most of a sleeve on both sides, buddhist art on one arm, Jewish on the other. Used to teach Buddhism and the history of occultism with specialty in the classical kabbalah and Crowley's sex magick. Now I work at a law firm running databases. Also was apprenticed to a French master chef for a few years, and absolutely love cooking - specialties are French and Northern Italian, but also cook Chinese, Spanish, Mexican, Santa Fe and others. I love to read and argue use what I've read, debating philosophy, religion, politics or whatever. Favorite stuff to read is science fiction/fantasy, history, philosophy, religious texta from all traditions, as well as anything funny.

Lots of academic accolades - fellowships, gust lecturing, and the like.

Who I'd Like To Meet

The perfect person for me would be well read and well educated, either formally or self taught doesn't matter. Would rather read almost anything than be reading nothing at all. She'd be into religious and spiritual ideas without being religious per se (and wouldn't be put off by someone using 'per se' in an informal posting).  Someone who doesn't just think of themselves when deciding if things are OK, but considers the world at large - no justice, no happiness- has a conscience, but not out of fear of divine punishment. Someone who likes cats and dogs, and gets along with both of mine (an Old English bulldog and a fluffy cat). And she wouldn't mind that I walk with a cane.
