Welcome and Introductions!

Good Afternoon World!


Blogging...hmm, not what I thought I would end up doing, but after conversations with hubby and friends, I have made my decision. New beginnings are better when shared. Come on a little trip with me and see how it all began:


I was born.


I ate food.


I like food.


I was married.


I needed to make food in order to eat it.


HELP!


I am married...with kitchen.


So naturally this could go one of two ways. I could be a kitchen whiz, I could whip up gourmet meals in minutes, thrill our stomachs and be the chef that I knew was inside. OR I could fail miserably. Lets see what I had to work with:


I was born to two middle-eastern parents, who introduced me at an early age to the world of spices and herbs, garlic, meats, and all things Mediterranean. My dear hubby was born to two North American parents, he grew up eating delicious pies and good hearty American cooking sans garlic. Oh boy.


If you know me, you know I'm slightly impulsive and adventurous-a little type A- a little set in my ways. It was going to be ok. I would make him eat my way. Except we are both first-borns.


Here's the equation:
2 first borns + spices - spices + hunger + no cooking experience + expectations = so help me.


One year later we are still married. We are well fed, just ask my pants. (oy) And believe it or not, we have found the happy medium that is North American Mediterranean fusion cooking...and dare I say, I'm good at it?!  Better yet, I kind of love it.


This is the new home for my recipes and ideas. The hope is that I can share something that you at home can make too...because if I can do it, so can you.
