Hello world!
Yes, it’s me. As if a couple of knitting blogs weren’t enough, I’ve started a food blog.
Technically, this isn’t my first foray into food blogging. I have (had) a blog on Blogger. At first, I thought I’d just move it over here. But then I noticed that I hadn’t posted to that blog for two years. Yikes. So, I have decided to start all over, but you’ll still be able to read the old posts. I may mover some of the ones I like best to this site–eventually.
So, what am I going to do with this blog? Why, talk about food of course. And cooking and gadgets. As those who have followed me from a knitting blog, you most likely know I love to cook. I have for as long as I remember. When I’d ask my mom if I could make dinner, there was never any hesitating before my mom said yes. Oh, and I was probably about 7 or 8 when I started asking.
My first adventures in culinary land were desserts. I remember a landlord who absolutely loved my desserts. And though this isn’t a dessert, my applesauce was the only kind her baby would eat. Over the past few years, I’ve moved away from desserts. I don’t eat many sweets, but when I do, it’s usually ice cream. I’ve moved on to entrees and appetizers. And bread. Bread is probably one of my favorite things in the entire world. I love making bread, and you’ll be able to read about some of my bread-making adventures here.
And now, a word about gadgets. I love kitchen gadgets. Check that. I adore kitchen gadgets. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mesh well in a kitchen with insanely limited storage space. And I do mean limited. So, I’ve had to limit my gadget acquisitions to those that, for the most part, are multipurpose. Thank you Alton Brown. In the long run, that’s probably a very good thing.
So, I hope you’ll join me here. Comment often, and if you have ideas for the blog, please send them along.

Best of luck with this new blogging venture. I’ll be watching for your bread posts…I too am a big fan of homemade bread. And ice cream–homemade or not.

Another person with a small kitchen?? Not as small as mine I’ll bet – my food processor and crock pot live on the kitchen table and the toaster in the closet. The Bread machine must come up from the basement when I want it because you really have to be able to eat occasionally at the table instead of trays in the living room (lol).
So, I’ve added you in the reader and will following your latest foray into conquering the world

Thanks, Leslie.
I have a great room rather than a kitchen. Against the wall are cabinets, sink (big), stove, and refrigerator. And the wall isn’t that long. The only workspace is the small areas on either side of the sink. That’s where the bread machine, brick oven, and a few other things are. Pots and pans are stored in the big oven, and the few cabinets must hold food and dishes. I even use my microwave to store my popcorn bowl and big colander. The microwave is on the table; I eat in front of the TV
Someday I want to get one of those butcher block carts so I can have more workspace.

How exciting! I hope this blog turns out to be all you desire!
I’ve been told and think I have a knack for baking and cooking, but so far that hasn’t turned into a “love” for me. But I do love me some good food and maybe this will help! I sure am getting tired of making the same things all the time!!! And Paul would probably kiss you if I did more baking!

Pickled Beets are one of my bestsellers at market; beets are definitely a “yes I love them” or “urgh” kind of food for people.
Gadgets — we recently purchased a mandoline and I love it!
Best of luck on the new blog venture. I’ll be watching, I love food! The fresher the better, and I’m very interested in the concept of eatting local.
