The Inaugural Post

Alright. So, God knows I suck at maintaining a blog, but I think part of the problem is that it's hard to find things to say sometimes. I mean, life is pretty much the same most days, with a few exciting events happening now and then to break the monotony. Who wants to read a blog that says, "Well, nothing new going on. Just the same old thing"? I love life, but honestly, when it comes down to the day to day, life is kinda boring...BUT on the other hand, for me, FOOD is always exciting and entertaining and captivating. I find myself cooking or baking something new almost every day (one of the benefits of being underemployed). And when I'm not doing it, I'm thinking about it. So, all that to say that hopefully, I will have enough "cooking news" to keep a FOODIE blog going.

Technically, I don't know if I really qualify as a "Foodie". I tend to think of that like as a kind of snobby person who's into "fine cuisine". Don't get me wrong. I LOVE fine cuisine. But at the same time, I also like pizza or a hot dog sometimes. And good old-fashioned comfort food rocks my world as well. BUT WAIT....news flash....

I just discovered Wikipedia's definition of Foodie and it goes like this...
"Foodie is an informal term for a particular class of aficionado of food and drink...Although the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably, foodies differ from gourmets in that gourmets are epicures of refined taste who may or may not be professionals in the food industry, whereas foodies are amateurs who simply love food for consumption, study, preparation, and news. Gourmets simply want to eat the best food, whereas foodies want to learn everything about food, both the best and the ordinary, and about the science, industry, and personalities surrounding food. For this reason, foodies are sometimes viewed as obsessively interested in all things culinary."

So, I guess I am a Foodie. It's official. Alright. Goodie for me. I've already done some baking today, so look for the first "real" post in a few minutes!
