Blogging is new to me, but let me jump right in.
To understand me and how I feel about food, you need to know where I started. When I was a kid I ate hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken nuggets. Nothing with bones in it. No vegetables (maybe a carrot). In high school I drank a Coke and ate a chocolate croissant on the way to school, I usually had a Snickers and Coke for lunch (sometimes a plate of fries with a side of mayo).
My tastes (meaning the buds themselves and my environmental sensibilities) have changed.
Now I like most all foods--the only notable exception is the mushroom--and the problem is that IT doesn't like ME, so it's not my fault.
Over the creation of this blog you'll learn just how important food is to me now. I care about where I shop, what I buy, how it is cooked and served, where it is served, who is with me when I eat it, and how I can do it all better.
I'm looking forward to a new food experience though this blog and hope you enjoy going with me on the journey.
Until then....

Food for Thought

Memorable Meals
September:
Felt like I did more prepping of food for winter than cooking yummy meals....but there were a few good ones.
Labor day lasagnas with my sister and extended family-vegetable, pesto and traditional with sausage (veggie is the best)
Homemade pizza with the boys (Patrick's idea when he saw FRESH mozzarella in store)
First chili of the season--ground beef and black bean
Hogshead at our house--a tribute to Julia Child with Boeuf Bourguignon, potato leek soup, cheese and fruit course, salad with pears and figs, upside down apple tart with caramel sauce
August: the month of the TOMATO (with a few peaches thrown in)
August 2--Mexican Spread
corn tortilla cheese quesidillas
chipotle chicken with spinach and cream
chicken in red-sauce with roasted potatoes and onions
grilled chicken and zucchini
poblano peppers roasted with local goat cheese
Week of 7/10-7/17/2009
Greek Feast at Hogshead hosted by Janice and Bill Loomis
(keftka with tadziki, eggplant salad with feta, lamb shish-ka-bob, quail stuffed with feta.....)
SELMA Prep-dinner
spinach bake with feta, greens with raspberry dressing, homemade bread with white cheese, cherries, blueberry sorbet
FRIDAYS @ Selma
Blueberry bread pudding, peaches, bacon, baby orange tomatoes (there was tons more to choose from, but that's what I had)

Thank you for creating a blog. I really enjoyed perusing it. Although I get to enjoy your cooking from time to time, I'll now enjoy it virtually and get some ideas for meals. The spinach enchiladas are definitely one of my favorites. I'll pass on the local frog legs from the swamp. Can't wait for the update! Go Local!!!
