Clearing up and posting old drafts:
I came across Chubby Hubby a long time ago, wanted to feature it and then it landed on my back burner. The photo is one of his while he reviews El Bulli. Wow do I envy him:-)
This blog started as an experiment. Then it became an addiction.
In early 2005, I found myself on the steering committee for a Writers Festival. We wanted to both engage bloggers to help publicize our festival and feature some of the more popular ones on various panels. Because many of us were unfamiliar with the world of blogs, one of our fellow committee-members suggested that we start our own blogs, in order to get a better sense of what they were all about.
It wasn’t until much later did I realize that I was the only one who took the suggestion seriously and actually started one.
I’ve always loved food. I believe it comes from growing up in a family of foodies, who not only placed importance in what we were eating but in the act of eating together. As I grew up and moved out, the friends I made were also food-lovers. As was the woman I eventually married. My darling wife S is, in many ways, a much bigger foodie than I am. Not only does she love food, she knows a helluva lot about it. She also happens to work professionally as a food writer, editor, and consultant.
It was only natural then that the subject of my first (and only) blog was food. Through this blog, I try to share the joy of eating well and eating with people you love. I never imagined that Chubby Hubby would be as well-received or as well-read as it is. I am eternally grateful to readers for their comments and for returning day after day or week after week to read about what S and I have been up to in the kitchen, where we’ve been dining, or other inanities that I or my darlin’ wife S might feel like posting.
This was on my back burner almost a year. Now trying to go ahead with the food part of this Blog as well……
I love Chubby Hubby too – we’re restaurant-addicts too!
Hey, I’m doing a hotel series at the moment and I can’t find a GM to comment on one of the topics – would you mind? You can remain anonymous or use your name with pride and I’ll link to you. Let me know!
Hi Lara
The Hotel series is a very good idea!
I have commented in the meantime.
