This one is different. At least I hope it is different.
I have always loved food. I enjoy eating it. I get a thrill out of cooking it. I have rarely before written about it. This New Year's Day, I hope to begin to change that.
In starting a blog, one is faced with a dilemma: what is the goal? Is the goal to get my thoughts down on paper (internet?) so that I can look back over them? Is the purpose of this to simply get in the habit of appreciating my food - and the life surrounding it - a little bit more? Or is the point of what will often seem like random ramblings about all things culinary, and pescatarian in specific, so that one day others will also read them and perhaps come out with a greater appreciation of food (or of me)? I don't know. I only know that my friend Sydney and my wife Ruth have teamed up to make me do something I have often said would be fun to do.
New Year's seems like a pretty good excuse to me.
I am so glad that you started this blog. I always enjoy hearing you talk about food, and now I get to read your thoughts daily. Plus, this could be the easiest way to get me out to Southern California if you consistently remark on the weather like you did in your next couple posts. You are a great writer and have good things to say. I look forward to keeping up all year with your food thoughts.
ReplyDeleteCheers to your blogging adventure! Life keeps getting in the way of me keeping up with my blog, but if I post something 3 times a week I consider it a success. You have no one expecting you to keep them clean, alive, and entertained all day (I hope), so you should be able to be more productive than I. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your adventure my friend. I enjoy blogging because I think it is a great log of my life and of my kids lives for the years to come...when I'm old and senile I'll have an encyclopedia of my life complete with dates and pictures. :)Happy New Year!!!
