Gastropalooza!

Seeing as any and all other simple "foodie" type url's were taking.. I took this one.. out of inspiration from Julie Powell.. who I believe in her Julie/Julia Project blog stated that she was against such nonsense words. I recommend you read her damn blog by the way. In all honesty I'm slightly enamored with her (to which my wife was a bit suspicious) though I said she needed to thank her blog, as it has given me a new found appreciation for my wife.

However this blog is about all things food related... I think I'm about 10 years too late, oh well, fuck it. Mostly this blog will be about cooking and eating and all that relates to them. Seeing as this is probably my 2nd blog about such endeavors (the first was supposed to be about my experiences at culinary school - but that never happened), however I found a renewed determination from reading the J/J blog and finding out that Julia herself didn't go to culinary school till she was 37, which I will be this year. 37 that is... damn.. so close to 40.. aww crap..

This is not going to be a daily blog or a weekly blog, but a as I feel like it blog, though seeing as I'm a bit focused on a few things at the moment who really knows. I will be writing about some of the more recent events in the coming days as they are probably more relevant. The recent trip to Little Tokyo for the twins b-day, last year's trip to Portland, and things that I have cooked recently and plan to cook.

I'll have some things to refer to - various other blogs that I read from time to time, points of interest on the internet, locally to So Cal and other places that I have visited.

For me food preoccupies soooo much of my daily thought. I'm always reading about it or thinking about it and not too mention my travel plans revolve around it.

Aside from sex.. food is about it.. and maybe a good cocktail or glass of wine.. but that would go back to that food category.
