Thoughts on cooking, eating and anything else you can do in the kitchen

My day ... er, night ... job is working on the copy desk here at the paper, designing pages, editing stories and writing headlines. So why I am writing a blog about food?

Well, cooking has always been a big part of my life -- large family dinners on tables teeming with food were a holiday (and everyday) staple. Add a mom who catered for more than a decade, and it was natural that I would be pressed into service early on cooking for large groups of people -- something I love doing even now that I'm on my own.

That doesn't mean, however, that I always know what I'm doing. I'm always experimenting and learning what works and what doesn't. And this blog will basically be just that -- experimenting and sharing with you tips and tricks (and a few recipes) I've picked up along the way, along with my thoughts about what goes on in the kitchen.

Luckily, I work in a newsroom, so my husband won't have to be the only guinea pig trying my experiments. (Note to readers: People working in a newsroom will eat anything -- and they won't ask silly questions like, "Where did this come from?" If it shows up in the office, it will be eaten.)

I want to hear from you, too. Send me your tips, recipes and questions. So kick off your shoes, pull up a plate, and welcome to my kitchen!
