Statement of Purpose

This blog is about food.
It is about my obsession with food and food culture.
The poetry of baking,
The artistry of
The mechanics of
The chemistry of
The alchemy of
cooking not just to live,
but living to cook.
Here I will pontificate on my readings by food writers,
I will argue with myself and the world.
I don't hope to come to any conclusion, just debate
The politics of food,
The overwhelming human fear of hunger,
The American uses and abuses of food culture.
Food is life.
Heaven can be found in the pantry.
All I hope is to compose my little odes on the lima bean.
