"No.''
"!!??##"
That would be the wrong answer, the answer my editor does not wish to hear at the end of a busy week, especially a week heading into a holiday. ``But...'' I say. ``Do it,'' she says. So I do it. But as I write I can't help but think about my eldest daughter's senior thesis, a study of the impact of blogs on government policies around the world. When she talks about her project, my mind wanders.
I am shocked to imagine how many people might read a simple blog entry, surprised and slightly dismayed that my blog entry might become part of the landscape of writing on a subject. That whole concept is just daunting to this food writer, who simply writes about what she sees and tastes. Nothing more. I am no expert. I don't expect I ever will be.
I propose that those who read my blog entries think of my blogs as an attempt to share, kitchen to kitchen, shopping cart to shopping cart, plate to plate, glass to glass. I propose that they are merely conversation, existing
for the purpose of inspiring, encouraing, co-miserating with and ultimately encouraging fellow cooks who wish to join me along my path to cooking well.
Mine will never be a view from above, but rather from my spot in the kitchen and at the table, where the only thing that matters is ``How did it taste?''
