My First Blog - yikes!

Welcome one and all to my first blog! Here you will find my thoughts, observations and reflections on my favorite subject - food!

Food is life. We all know that our bodies need food for energy and good health, but food is also much more than mere sustenance. Food is family, friends, good times, and sad times. Food, I believe could end many wars, or prevent them, if the opposing sides simply sat down together to share a meal. It is, after all, difficult to argue when your mouth is full!

Food, rather the sharing of it, means so many things to me. I have always loved food. I don't just eat it. I smell it, I devour it with my eyes, sometimes I even listen to it, and when I have done all these things, only then, can I taste it. Not just put it in my mouth, chew and swallow. I try to decipher the very mystery of the food itself. To me the ultimate adventure is to try a food that is new to me. From the simple to the extravagant, the very mystery that is food excites me.
