Mission Statement

I'm starting this blog because I have a pathological need to share. I have been food blogging on Facebook for some time, and a number of my friends and colleagues have suggested I start a proper blog. So - this is my attempt at doing so.

Food (and by extension, drink) is an integral part of my culture, my existence. It is comfort, art, and family to me. I have no training save my mother and grandfather, the Joy of Cooking, Alton Brown's "Good Eats" series, and the Internet. Nonetheless, I plan to chronicle my food adventures: recipes, restaurants, experiments - anything that seems appropriate.
