Hello And Welcome

"How To Put Off Writing A Blog". That should have been my title because it has only taken about 18 months since the initial spark of desire to write a a blog til today. Better late than never, as they say...hopefully! Anyway, welcome to my journey down the trail of something totally new and exciting for me and my hope is that along the way, there might be a tidbit or two that you will find interesting, helpful or amusing. I have this incredible passion for all things food related. I would be hard-pressed to pick a favorite food and when asked what my specialty is, it's difficult to answer. I do however, lean toward South East Asian & Spanish cuisines for making my palette really sing.
The past couple of years I have had a fast-growing interest in products produced locally. I particularly enjoy shopping at Farm Markets & especially if they are in the neighborhood. I also hunt & fish and when I am successful, you can't get much more local than that!
And then there is wine & beer. The past 10-15 years has seen an amazing growth in the Wineries of New Jersey. We have close to 35 wineries when it doesn't seem that long ago there were under a dozen. The Brewery & Brewpub scene is not as grand but it is getting better. Being a hobbyist homebrewer, this is close to my heart.
So this is what this blog will be about. I'm gonna have fun, I hope you will enjoy the ride with me.

Thanks for stopping by.
