The Table Is Set


The idea for this blog grew from a discussion about the possibility of writing a monthly food column for the newspaper for which Gregg works.

We thought since people think about, talk about, prepare, and consume food more frequently than on a monthly basis, a blog might be a swell sideline for extra foodie adventures throughout the month, be they making new recipes or old standbys, noshing fantastical meals at restaurants, and/or embarking on cooking adventures shared by the experienced and the neophyte.

GREGG: One of us has years of experience in the kitchen, cooking and baking thousands of recipes and dishes.

JESSICA: One of us is a rookie with a sharp knife.

GREGG: One of us prepares meals using local, seasonal, sustainably grown produce and high-quality ingredients whenever possible.

JESSICA: One of us has never been one to shy away from Totino's Pizza Rolls, Uncle Ben's Ready Rice, and Mrs. Paul's Fish Sticks.

GREGG: One of us has lived a healthy, vegetarian lifestyle for the past 11 years.

JESSICA: And one of us knows the personalities at every fast food drive-thru within a 20-mile radius.

We're confident that, after reading only a few entries, you'll deduce who's who. And we hope you'll partake in our foodie blog adventures, to see what we're serving.

We'll be most pleased if you return for seconds.

  5. Hey, all...thanks for the wonderfully kind words! Great to "meet" all of you, too. This began as a rather creative idea between us and I hope it has some staying power, because it's fun to learn about all...and I mean aallll...the things I don't know in the kitchen. Lots to learn.
