\"Louise<\/a><\/p>\n

Louise Geller, UncommonGoods Senior Planner<\/p>\n

My hometown is\u2026<\/strong>
\nNew York, NY<\/p>\n

My favorite project that I\u2019ve worked on at UncommonGoods is\u2026<\/strong>
\nI truly love working with our forecasting software, learning how the database is organized so we can harness its power effectively. Forecasting is basically predicting the future, and it\u2019s pretty exciting when you do it right. It\u2019s okay, you can call me a nerd.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m inspired by\u2026<\/strong>
\nLive theater. Humans are becoming increasingly accustomed to being isolated from each other, so when a production can unite an audience in a meaningful shared experience, it is pretty awesome. I still feel inspired thinking about watching the pivotal moments of Peter and the Starcatcher<\/em><\/a>, the best play to ever be on Broadway. (I will not accept rebuttals to this point.)<\/p>\n

My favorite place to eat in New York City is\u2026<\/strong>
\nMy apartment? Just kidding (kind of). There are always so many new places to try in NYC, I don\u2019t end up going back to the ones I love as often as I might like. Cookshop<\/a> in Chelsea has probably been on my favorites list the longest. There\u2019s also an amazing pizza and cocktail spot in my neighborhood called Wheated<\/a>, and I will eat there at basically any opportunity.<\/p>\n

An uncommon fact about me\u2026<\/strong>
\nI can (and probably will, if you don\u2019t stop me) give you a 90 minute lecture\/guided tasting on the various styles of cheese and their history.<\/p>\n

My guilty pleasure is\u2026<\/strong>
\nI try not to feel guilty about anything that gives me pleasure, but I guess I\u2019d say rereading books that I loved when I was a kid. You can get major side eye by being an adult reading Beverly Cleary<\/a> on the F train.<\/p>\n

Since working at UncommonGoods I\u2019ve learned\u2026<\/strong>
\nTo never underestimate the popularity of dishtowels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If I could travel forward or backward in time, I would\u2026<\/strong>
\nBlow all my money on a trip around the world, and then come back to now and spend it on something sensible instead. I\u2019m assuming I\u2019d get to keep the memories and experiences.<\/p>\n

With the following ingredients in front of me I would make\u2026<\/strong>
\nYou\u2019re given the <\/em>Make Your Own Hot Sauce Kit<\/a>, the <\/em>Wine Jelly Set<\/a>, and the <\/em>Craft Beer Cake Mix Set<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019d add some of the cayenne or hot peppers from the hot sauce kit into the chocolate stout mix, then spread the Cabernet & cracked pepper jelly between two layers once the cake was baked. I\u2019m not sure how well it would work flavor-wise, but I bet I\u2019d find some volunteers to taste it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
