Eat to live, live to eat

Food makes me happy.

As you peruse my blog, you'll notice that a lot of my photos, writings and activities have to do with food. This is because I am a restaurant kid. Both of my parents are excellent cooks, they've owned and operated four different restaurants just within my lifetime, and we love to go out to eat. They cultivated in me a willingness to try just about anything that I've never eaten before, and that has made my life more--dare I say it? Tasty.

I'm still not keen on very spicy food, but my mom is hoping that will change over time. She likes her food so spicy that it makes her lips burn and her nose run, and I just shake my head in disbelief.

Mom does know her food, though. For more on this, check out her post as my first guest blogger, here.
