Welcome

In recent years, I've come to find food -- the making and eating of it -- to be one of my greatest pleasures and a favorite pasttime.

I've thought about publishing my favorite recipes, but my collection is small and follows no theme, so I decided I'd do this in the form on a blog rather than a cookbook. I also travel a lot and will share dining out experiences when they are exceptional.

You'll find my web site at www.mapville.com, and it includes a restaurant list I started in 1996.
