I am that I eat

A friend suggested I start writing blog content for other people as a secondary income of sorts. Although he did tell me it wouldn't be lucrative in the beginning, it would be fun and had potential to grow if people liked what I wrote and sent traffic my way. I have never posted a blog, maintained a blog, followed a blog, or even returned to a blog I have taken the time to browse or read. I am not a blogger and never really understood the concept until recently. I thought about my friends idea, but with my lack of experience and without the nerve and verve to author a blog for award, I have decided a little practice of the craft was in order.

This blog is the start of something new. I intend to blog a great deal on my diet, as the blog title suggests, believing it ought to be personal, descriptive, genuine and straight from the horses mouth so to speak without necessarily being kosher, if you catch my drift.

I love to cook and I love to eat and I love to photograph what I cook and eat, so I hope to accompany most of my writing content with great images as well. I often research recipes, but never follow them with any rigor and prefer to "method" cook with my eyes and my ears and my nose and of course with my teeth, my tongue and my tummy. Most of what I cook and eat is off the cuff and based on whatever I have in my ice box. I do love to grocery shop, particularly at farmers markets and the produce and meat markets in the Strip District here in the city of Pittsburgh.

As the blog title may also suggest, albeit metaphorically, I am that I eat will also be about everything I "consume" or experience in my daily life as I am living it. Everything I see and hear and touch and smell and even think or dream about, I hope to put down into this blog. Not only as a record for my own benefit, but as a sort of menu that you too may want to savour.

Bon Appetite!
