The thing is that I am worried I won't have enough to share. For someone who has her fair share of things going on, I am concerned that the good words will fail to come, and this blog will lilt into an overly prose-y sinkhole. I will always try to get back to what I know, however, and forget the poetics of blog-writing so I can tell you straight up what I'm all about: Food.
Eating, cooking, occasionally foraging, but mostly baking, I have realized that food has become my lifeforce in the totally non-nutritional, non-science-y way. People, art, wanderlusting, and academics (my former full-time pursuits) still decidedly revolve around my newly created planet of food exploration, but my greatest joys have, for the past oh say lifetime, consistently come from the process of making food. I could get into the historical connections, hypothesize about rebelling against the microwave TV dinners of my childhood, or explain how much I like the ritual of preparing food, but I haven't yet figured out how to be charming enough for musings. I'll save the anecdotes for later on if you can just stick with me for a tick.
I hope for this to be a space of baking experiments, comparisons, learning, and critique, as I attempt to negotiate what it means to be a food blogger and find a way to avoid the drudgery of adult life with a real job.
hooray! as if i needed another food blog to follow. first, those brownies look ri.dic.u.lous. second, dc isn't really a shithole, it just plays coy and you have to work to get to know it. third, i am STOKED about Berkeley. please tell me what and where to eat everything delicious, thanks.
