In one of my very first entries I identified myself as a "Feminist, Daughter, Sister, Lover, Friend, Chef, Artist, Activist, Self-Proclaimed Comedian, Organizational & Control Freak, Student, Server". I have to say, I should have also included that I am a pure, unadulterated, excitable, passionate, mad-lover of food and wine. It is what I breathe for. It doesn't matter what time of day it is, or what I've just eaten - you can be guaranteed that I am thinking about my last meal and what I'll be having for my next. Just ask my partner, John. We are often lounging after breakfast, he with some sort of punch-you-in-the-stomach-super-strong coffee, and I with my less acidic green tea and I will be asking, "what should we have for lunch? For dinner?" I love eating. I can't stop eating! (Well.... neither can you, really)... Mainly I do it because I have to not just biologically, but emotionally, spiritually, and frankly, lasciviously.
