Jayne Jang Belz, Neighbor

Jayne Jang Belz<b> </b>is a native of Maryland, but is glad to have relocated to sunny San Diego where she does not have to worry about dry, cracked winter skin. She is a graduate of Georgetown University, where she received her bachelor&#39;s degree in biology. After college, her interest in public health and love of food led her to work first on Save the Children USA&#39;s Child Health/Nutrition Team and then as a food writer for Earth Fare, the healthy supermarket of the Southeast.

A supporter of fresh foods, Jayne&#39;s highlight of the week is visiting local farmers&#39; markets to talk to growers and to buy that week&#39;s seasonal bounty. She loves to cook, but enjoys trying new restaurants, too. Having grown up eating lots of Korean food, she has a global palate and a penchant for spicy food.

Jayne has been given the nickname &#34;Jingle Bells&#34; by friends because if you repeat her name five times really fast, that is the result. Her Navy pilot husband is known as &#34;Door Bell.&#34; They are currently accepting witty name suggestions for their future progeny.
