Hello and welcome!
For more information on why I started FGT, go here.
As for me, well…
I’m just a girl who appreciates quinoa and bacon equally.
What? You want to know more? Alright…
- I love avocados beyond all reason.
- Other current food loves:
- Everything bagels (with a healthy schmear of full-fat Philadelphia cream cheese)
- Mussels (steamed in beer or white wine with LOTS of lemon)
- Tofu pad thai
- Hummus (local caterer Roots makes my new favorite: chipotle!)
- Deviled eggs (with minced cornichons, Maile dijon and Veganaise)
- Scallops
- I can’t function without my morning coffee. (current favorite: Dynamite Roasting Company’s Sumatra Mandehling)
- Dishes with fresh ingredients cooked simply are my preference, but I’ve been known to indulge in a few unsavory food habits.
- …like eat imitation crab meat sautéed with butter and lemon, then spread on toast for dinner. (What?! Do you know what that stuff is made of?? Yes. I try not to think about it.)
- Red wine over white, unless the dish calls for it.
- And, yes - I think the shape of the pasta matters.
Here’s to the corkscrew - a useful key to unlock the storehouse of wit, the treasury of laughter,
the front door of fellowship, and the gate of pleasant folly. ~W.E.P. French
