My World - As Seen Through My Squidoo Lenses
My world looks different through my squid eyes: clearer, more thought-out, better researched, better understood. Make no bones about it - I love Squidoo, and it was love at first sight. On January 29th, 2008 I discovered a completely new opportunity to express myself, learn a lot from like-minded companions, and even make a little money from all that fun! On July 2, I was honored with "Giant Squid" status. In September, I became a Squid Angel. I am proud and determined to live up to this great recognition. Would you like to be a "Giant", too? Start today with your first lens, or finish your 50th quality page. You can do it! You're looking at Chef Keem's Lensography - my life as a squidoo lensmaster - and I sure hope you'll hang around for a while.
Listen to my original music and some of the unbelievable artists featured in my video showcases. Come along on my chefing trips to Alaska, find a few tasty recipes, and lots of information on food and cooking. I'll introduce you to my specialty food creation, Agasweet flavored agave nectar, a healthy low-glycemic agave sweetener that's even suitable for most diabetics! Pick a unique gift from my shopping lenses and laugh with the funniest lensmasters on squidoo. And, of course, keep coming back - I ain't done, yet!
