About Me

Exhibit A

I’ve always been a good eater, from what I’ve been told. See Exhibit A…that’s me enjoying the chocolate in my Easter basket in 1981. Please excuse the staples, that photo was taken in pre-digital camera days.

Fast forward 30-something years, and I still love food. See Exhibit B…that’s me at the 2012 Maine Lobster Festival. And yes, I ate a twin lobster dinner and then a lobster roll.

Exhibit B

In between, I’ve witnessed and participated in my fair share of food fads and trends…vegetarianism, the fat-free craze (Snackwell’s anyone?), low carb, high protein, etc. Through it all, my love of food, cooking, and trying new things have remained.

And in recent years, I’ve figured out a way of eating that’s right for me…real food that is local whenever possible. I love my CSA and yes I’d prefer to make pancakes from eggs, flour, and milk instead of a mix.

I started this blog to capture some of my cooking successes (and failures), and fun food experiences. It is also a way to clear out some of the piles of recipes I’ve accumulated over the years. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
