So it begins...

Welcome to yet another enabler for my procrastination!  So what's the deals?  Deals is, I love food.  It's part of who I am as a human.  I am an organotroph and proud of it.  We humans cannot produce our own energy and so must consume organic compounds to survive.  Where do we get this organic matter?  Life has conveniently given us tasty little packets of energy called basically every other life form on the planet.  Animals, plant, fungi, bacteria, algae...I like 'em all.  This blog is a peek into my foodie thoughts.  I'm a researcher so I'll include sciencey food tidbits.  I've started a garden so I'll include gardening tips and tricks (although to be honest this is my first garden, so it'll be a learning experience for both of us).  I'm dirt poor so I'll be including ways to eat well on a budget.  Finally, I'll also include some recipes because I love cooking but can never manage to cook the same thing twice...perhaps this will help... 

So, my dear fellow organotrophs, please enjoy this little tribute to the most wonderful lifelong affair...eat well!
