~A small update~

So, finally this blog will be reflecting my semi-permenant move to a completely new area of the United States - the South! If you ever wanted to read about what someone from another part of the country thinks about southern cuisine, you've come to the right place. There are a lot of exciting and different restaurants around here to try, and I've been tearing into the food around here with a lot of gusto (maybe a little too much gusto, at times, given that they are quite generous with the portions of food around here sometimes). I've already developed an addiction to sweet tea (enough that I named my dog after the drink), and who knows how many other ways my culinary palate will be influenced? =). Although I know that I will never be able to try all the different places that this area has to offer, I hope to at least to do justice to some of the delicious southern dishes I've been encountering so far. So, without further ado, please enjoy these new posts in the South, y'all!

Napa Trip - Intro

Originally, the postings for the Napa trip were supposed to start off this blog. That was before I got Doughboys fever - damn that red velvet cake! =)

The trip that Jen and I went on was the main inspiration for this blog, because all we really did there was eat really good food, all the time. To be honest, when Jen said that she wanted to go to Napa, I wasn't that interested; I don't drink, so the appeal of being in the middle of a ton of wineries, but nothing else to do, was nil. But, I was wrong - I forgot about food - yay! Sorry if the descriptions of the flavors of the food are a little iffy; it has been a very long, long time, and I didn't take notes.

~A small introduction~

This is my little space on the web for the food that I eat. This blox exists as my own personal celebration and memory of the food I have enjoyed. Yes, I love eating good food, evidently so much that I have a deep-seated need to create a blog about it, so I can at least remember the good meals I've had along the way. I only wished I started it sooner, because there are so many yummy places I wish I could share that I've already been to! And sometimes, I just forget my camera, so some places still go unblogged by me. *sigh*.

So, people have asked me: what is this blog about? I don't post every single place I eat at; I don't eat out 7 days a week (I couldn't afford it, I have to be saving up for my next meal at some point! And, to be honest, I do enjoy a good home cooked meal a lot more sometimes). I post up places that I feel are distinctive or that I have had a really good meal at.

Note: I love lots of different types of food, but I am going to try to avoid critiquing the food as much as possible; for me, food is very personal: you may like some things, and I make like others. Obviously, this site represents what I like/and may not like so much, but what I say is: go and try it for yourself! =) If you are going to eat three square meals a day, you might as well enjoy it, right?

(Thanks to Anne Q. for her inspiration regarding the subtitle to my blog. She made the suggestion to me while Jen and I, along with her and her bf Barry were eating at Toast. She initially made the suggestion for the title of my blog as a joke, but I actually think it is a great suggestion because it is 1) amusing, and 2) a succinct and true statement of what the blog is about. So, why not?)
