So I finally figured out how to start a blog..but what to write about?
My recent addiction to facebook? My utter lack of self control anytime I get near Michaels or any other craft store? Maybe my love/hate relationship with my job?
Nope!
While all those are true, they don't really get to the core of 'me'.
What really excites me, makes me get all goose-bumpy and short of breath, is cooking! My poor coworkers know that pretty much every Sunday night when I come to work I will be toting a load of something baked along with me.
Cookies. Brownies. Lemon Bars. If its bad for you and can be eaten in a couple of bites, I'm all over it. My recent obsession has been cupcakes--little handheld delights that intoxicate you when the lid is lifted off my handy dandy 36 cupcake capacity carrier....oh....how I love that smell!!
My husband thinks I have a serious problem with cookbooks. How can a collection of a mere 600 or so be deemed a problem? Just because the pantry is full of books and not food shouldn't be grounds to get touchy!
The love of all things food has been a life long one. I can spend HOURS in the Williams Sonoma or Sur La Table stores in Fresno, or even downtown at Pacific Treasures. The grocery store is another favorite hangout--most shoppers randomly throw items into their carts and get the hell outa there.
But me?
No way! I take my time, slowly cruising the aisles. So much to see, touch, smell.....it gets even better when I get my bounty home, getting ready to chop, sautee, grill, bake, broil....
The smell of onions and garlic sauteeing in butter and olive oil....HEAVEN!!
When we have friends over, I am usually asked, "What can I bring?"
My standard answer is an appetite!!

Good for you!! Glad you've entered the blogging world. It's my personal opinion that Facebook will eventually lose it's luster, but blogging has been around for a very long time and will continue being around once all those crazy social networking sites have passed us by.
