About

Hello! My name is Nona Nelson.

I’m a Nashville-area writer, home cook and amateur photographer. My husband and I moved from Columbus, Ohio during a global pandemic. This website is intended to diary, my depository for our adventures in food, wellness and travel. 

These days, there is plenty of food. Wellness is determined by a normal temp on a thermometer a few times each week. Travel is a memory and wistful hope for the future.

Why Lizard Chinchilla?

Lizards are primal and the ultimate survivors — they are not little dinosaurs but they look like it.  Chinchillas are adorable and soft and often overlooked.

It’s also the random name Squarespace gave this website and I really liked it.
