I have only worn a watch once in the past three years (prior to that there was an eight year stretch without one) and yet I am usually quite punctual.

Whether on the internet, in a library or elsewhere, I am excellent at research.

Related to the research thing, I suppose, is that I am a finder of lost items. Just tell me what color or shape it is and I'll have it for you if you give me a general idea of where to search.

I am a fairly good cook. (Some people would use a more enthusiastic modifier.) I'd be better if I would read more cookbooks. Mostly, I cook by intuition. I know about spices and am not afraid to use 'em.

....Measure the rice. Rinse it with cold water at least twice. Add twice as much water as rice. Add salt. (Add a pinch or two of turmeric to make it a rich yellow, if you want.) Bring it all to a rapid boil stirring at times until large, fisheye bubbles form. Add a bit of butter or oil if you want. Give it a final stir. Cover tightly and turn off the burner. Never touch it again for fifteen to twenty minutes. (Long grain or Basmati rice takes longer than short grain.) Stir with fork and serve.

Like Bonnie, I enjoy canoeing and have a penchant for learning survival skills.
