About Jess
Hello! I’m Jess Schreibstein, a Washington, DC-based artist, writer, and community organizer. Originally from Los Angeles via New England via Virginia, I started this blog in 2010 as a way to keep in touch with friends, who seem to perpetually live far, far away. I founded and run the DC Food Swap, a barter-only market for food our local community has either made or grown themselves. My writing has appeared in NPR, The Runcible Spoon, and Geeked Magazine, and this blog was featured in WordPress’ Freshly Pressed for that Iceland post. All recent photography on this blog is shot in 35mm film. In my free time, I spin yarn, travel as far as my pennies will allow, and draw doodles of leafy greens.

Those Iceland photos really brought back memories. In 1968 I went to England via Icelandic Airlines and took the stopover package, not really having any idea of what it would be like. I fell in love with the place and wished I could stay longer. Always meant to go back but never did.
I had a dear friend , a single woman, who lived and worked for many years in Iceland….she loved it.Great blog and I will be interested in coming back for more, and checking out your recipes.(I am also interested in your going to DC;I was born and raise in the suburbs, and am sorry I ever left.)
I love your blog and LOVE the photos of Iceland, especially the horses! So so sweet.

Wow! Love what you’ve got going here — beautiful pictures and mouthwatering concoctions. I’ll definitely be making the rhubarb ginger jam this summer when I can get my hands on some fresh rhubarb!
