Food For Thought



This blogging thing is still very new to me & I'm trying to catch up a bit. I was resistant to try my hand when this all began & instead focused my attention at the computer to putting together other websites. Etsy was the beginning.

My son Peter was in college & had started selling some of his ceramic pieces there & encouraged me to start my own shop. I began with my own etsy shop in Sept. of '06 maryhanks.etsy.com.

Besides the desire to have that special shop of mine, I've always wanted to put together a cookbook. I'd compiled, organized, printed & given several copies family & friends. It was also nice to have recipes that I could easily email to anyone interested.

Not long after the "etsy experiment" began I started work on putting my recipes in yet another format --- sharing recipes via another website. I also use the site as an on-line portfolio of my other work, decorative painting, faux finishing, some sculpture work. I have posted a recipe here on my blog - see Chicken & Blueberry Muffins post - but am torn between adding more recipes here or hoping that I can direct those interested to the original project. Any thoughts or comments are very welcome, of course! You can use this blog for comments or see the "contact" link on the other site!

So please let me introduce you to "Food for Thought"...thanks for taking the time to look!

One more thing....I've also discovered TasteBook, and am experimenting with that format. FoodNetwork.com is another one of many go-to sites for lots of great tasting dishes!
